I was first introduced to JHT by my daughter about 20 years ago when she was a volunteer.

After I retired from the construction industry in 2018, I was asked if I could do some maintenance at Kites Corner. With some spare time on my hands, I agreed.

I expected to fix a few things, maybe make a few new friends. But what I didn’t expect was to meet and be involved with a group of such positive and caring people, both staff and family’s that use JHT. These are people that have their own challenges and working with them is both humbling and motivational. To be involved with everybody in only a small way has certainly made me re-evaluate some of my priorities in my own life.

For anybody contemplating volunteering at JHT, I can highly recommend it. I have found it very rewarding.
