“I love my job because it's so rewarding and fulfilling, like I’m giving something back to society. I enjoy meeting so many people from different generations and backgrounds and listening to their stories. This is a job I never thought I would do! I'm honoured to get to meet so many interesting people with so many fabulous stories from all walks of life. I feel that after losing my parents and grandparents, in some ways I’ve made them proud.”
- Amanda, Support Worker
