VOLUNTEERING I see great value in Volunteering and enjoy the experience and interaction that this gives me. Recent projects have required me to work safely in a team to help build a playscape for the children who attended the Newlands Morley School. This project allowed me to experience at first hand the construction of a design, which has expanded my knowledge on the hazards involved, and the practicalities of construction; in particular the safety of the construction workers. I hope to be involved with more projects similar to this in the near future, so I can gain further understanding of factors beyond the design.
