“Following retirement, it feels strange that the skills and experience you have gained may no longer be of use. “Mentoring has allowed me to use those skills which is very fulfilling.” Volunteer Autism Mentor

“I have gained insights into the sort of strategies neurodivergent people have to use in day-to-day life. “This has helped with my ability to support my neurodivergent customers at work.” Volunteer Peer Support Worker

“To hear I could inspire/motivate someone to go for their goals was confidence-building for me, and it made me value my skills. “It also gave me confidence, being in the mentoring role, that I could improve as a mentor through time.” Volunteer Autism Mentor

A @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk grant helped us to support a wide range of volunteers in different roles, including Mentors and #PeerSupport Volunteers!

Here are just a few quotes from some of our volunteers about what they gained from their roles with Leeds Autism AIM #VolunteersWeek #VolunteerLeeds
