Why I volunteer for UBC
My parents taught me from a very young age the rewards for giving someone a hand when they needed it, it was such a good feeling. When I started work, I had the pleasure of working with a gentleman named Cliff Burgess, a passionate member of the Club. Cliff recruited me as a volunteer for one of their fundraisers which was followed by a tour of the Royal Childrens Hospital to see a new piece of equipment that the club had donated, what a great feeling. That was nearly 50 years ago and ”I am still feeling it”.John Traill
