David W’s story: “I never realised that four hours of wiping down chairs could be so exhausting.”

David W. is a volunteer at the Jenner. 

I found volunteering at the Jenner centre a good way to help the community in these very strange times. It also gave me a reason to get out of the house and away from my studies (I am a post-graduate student).

It also enabled me to meet with a diverse range of people and share workplace banter. The work also provided a useful form of exercise when the gyms were closed — I never realised that four hours of wiping down chairs could be so exhausting.
