The Place – Jamie Dickson

Jamie is one of our young volunteers who volunteers with The Place, Alness. He is passionate about giving back to his community. He also wants to give young people a voice. 

It has given him a strong sense of community, he has met people of all ages and feels it is important to have strong intergenerational ties. He feels it is important to put on local events for everyone so that they can meet in person and have a wee blether. 

He strongly encourages others to get into volunteering, it has increased his confidence, given him a voice, allowed him to meet many more people and opened the door to other opportunities. It will also look great on your CV and give you the skills that you need for the future.
