Volunteer Stories

"I have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering for Father Nature, it came into my life when I was at an all time low as I was unemployed, really struggling. I have learnt so many valuable new life skills and met the most wonderful people through Father Nature!"

"I was worried about not seeing my daughter again as she was in care and as time went by I used to feel really useless and down. If it wasn't for Father Nature I wouldn't have known some of the things I know today and I get to meet new fathers / mums and their kids working for Father Nature. It has been one of the best and coolest things I've ever done. I've gotten a lot of help from Father Nature and I've gained more experiences in life of being a young dad. I am now looking after my daughter taking her to and from school 9.30 -3:30 Monday to Friday and I am looking for work."

"My challenges before working with Father Nature were basically to make enough money to look after my four children and myself. I was trying really hard to find work but although I had lots of work related skills, I had no relevant qualifications. I was very frustrated until Father Nature surfaced where I came face to face with hope.
I really got a lot out of working with Father Nature. Crispin kindly and patiently taught me loads - I learnt everything from how to work with wood and use power tools properly to planting and gardening skills. I really enjoyed being involved with the community builds and seeing how it brought people together. Getting the volunteers together into a team helped me discover I had leadership skills.
I’ve since shared these skills in other places and with other people. I now have a strong sense of purpose in my current job as a Support Worker for a local family charity where I support young people who feel as hopeless and frustrated as I once used to. I really feel like I am making a difference."
