Why did you start volunteering with Trinity? 

I am planning to change my career path from 'what I can do' to 'what I love to do' - facilities maintenance. I studied building service when I was young, and got some freelance jobs in playground maintenance as well as painting and plastering. However, I have found that it's still challenging to step into this industry when most of my background is office-based. It's been great to be able to gain experience and hands-on skills from volunteering with Trinity. It has also provided me with opportunities to expand my social network. 

Can you explain a bit about what you do in your volunteer role?

I work night shifts in my paid role, so I volunteer one day a week with Trinity at present. I help with simple maintenance tasks such as varnishing outdoor wooden furniture like chairs and tables. I am looking forward to taking on some more tasks soon such as repainting the interior and exterior areas.

What do you enjoy about your role? 

I was so impressed when the first time I visited Trinity. It’s enjoyable to volunteer here in such a peaceful vibe. It’s great to be able to use my skills to fix problems and to learn new things too. It's nice that the team at Trinity trust me and I never feel stressed about completing the assigned work. 

What would you say to someone who is thinking about volunteering with Trinity?
