Volunteer Alex has his feet firmly on the ground

“I love it all and every single Saturday I enjoy coming in because it’s all amazing. Each week is different and it’s lovely to be able to see the smile when you’ve helped a customer and perhaps made their day a little bit better - there’s a real sense of giving back," says Alex Williamson, a regular volunteer at our city-centre shop on The Moor.
