David’s story
“I’ve recently become the Provincial Grand Almoner, and it’ll be my duty to look after the Visiting Volunteers that operate in Leicestershire. So far we have four of them, including a female mason.
You need a lot of empathy for people; when you visit someone at home, they need to feel confident in sharing some of their personal issues with you which helps you to understand their situation better. What I really enjoy is going to see people, engaging with people, and particularly once they’ve opened up to me, for them to feel that I’ve been there to support and help them – often at a time of personal struggle.”
