My name is Catherine and I joined Meryl and her team right at the beginning. I am one of the older members, possibly the shortest but not the quietest! My hobbies include reading, writing and painting and I volunteer at the Thatcham food bank. So why join this lot? Well, I love people and my life has been very blessed. I don't have a hoard of money, but I do have time which these days are so precious. Many of the men and women who share our food provision evenings with us just want someone to listen to them, many are lonely and need a friend. Don't we all? That is why I love my Thursday evenings, being among my new friends, whose lives are tough now. If I can bring a smile to someone's face or make them laugh, then just for a second, life doesn't seem so bad. I can't change the world, but I can give friendship and a little hope. After all, we are one big family and the only difference is that my life is easier than theirs. No one should be unseen or unloved in this world. I want to dye my hair to bring awareness to Newbury Soup Kitchen and the work we do, the support we need and most importantly the wonderful clients who we meet. Kate another valued volunteer will be doing the Turquoise deed on March 6th. It will be filmed and added to this campaign. Please help us help our community. A bit of ridicule can't hurt. Can't back out now, so let's go for it.
