Volunteer of the Month – Michelle Wellbourne
Celebrating Our First Neighbourhood Connector
We are delighted to celebrate Michelle Wellbourne as our Volunteer of the Month and our very first fully trained Neighbourhood Connector!
Michelle has successfully completed our accredited volunteer training programme and received her Enhanced DBS check, “completing all the requirements to begin her role offering a friendly face, a listening ear and companionship to people across Halton.”
This is a fantastic milestone for Neighbourhood Connectors and Michelle has shown great commitment throughout the process. She will soon be joined by more of our wonderful Connectors who are currently completing the final stages of their training.
But there can only ever be one first – and that’s Michelle!
A tremendous thank you and congratulations from all of us. We’re incredibly proud to have you as part of the team and look forward to seeing the difference you’ll make in our community.
