Our Champions of Change

At the heart of every successful charity lies the unwavering dedication of its volunteers. At Gerri’s Place, our mission to provide much-needed well-being breaks wouldn't be possible without the incredible efforts of our volunteers.

The people that make it happen

Our Volunteers have been instrumental in making Gerri’s Place a reality. Without them, we could not have supported so many people. Our breaks offer a rejuvenating escape from daily pressures, allowing people to recharge and improve their overall well-being. The dedication of volunteers in organising and facilitating these breaks underscores their importance and value in promoting mental well-being and improving the quality of life for so many people.
