Radha, 72. Kingston Oxfam shop volunteer since 2012.

"I wanted to give something back to society and to make sure I kept learning and living. Volunteering at Oxfam has made my retirement hopeful and a productive part of my life. I have learnt bookkeeping and retail management skills. Found new friendships and enjoyed being at the heart of my local community."

" I joined Oxfam a couple of months after arriving in Spain [from Mexico]. Since then, it has played a crucial role in helping me to meet new people from different backgrounds and adapting to life here. My volunteering experience has been essential to my inclusion in Spanish society. "
