Meet the Committee / Iain St. Leger

When did you become a committee member?
I became a committee member in December 2008.

What other volunteering work have you done?
I have been involved with volunteer work since I was 15, when I assisted with fund raising for overseas aid and coffee mornings, and at school fundrasiers. During my year out from university, I help out in a local day centre, where I got involved with serving food, taking clients shopping, and supporting and organising them on day trips. However as people who know me, it was a big test on my naviagation skills!! I have also assisted with working in day hospital with wheelchair services and helped out with a triathalon in Northampton where they let me loose on directing traffic! :)
