“I was lucky to have found Sufra through a Google search because I lived in Brent. I found that Sufra inspired me. I always had an interest in volunteering, having been a data input volunteer for another charity for a year, but wanted something more to help my community. I met the good-hearted Programmes Manager at the time, who showed me the volunteering opportunities at Sufra. She tested my volunteering skills to see how I could help out and what accommodations I might need, as I was born deaf.
I have been volunteering at Sufra since April 2018, mainly in Sufra’s storage room. I support with foodbank stock replenishing, food parcel packing, and with our weekly Community Kitchens - but also with data inputting, and occasional international sign language translation support with one of our deaf volunteers and guests.
I think it is important to encourage older people to volunteer at a charity as it helps to prevent loneliness, fulfils your need for communication and allows you to find emotional support within a community. By volunteering at Sufra, I play an important role for the community, which makes me feel like an equal. To me, an ideal version of community would be wealthy people and poor people sharing meals and spaces and blessings.
