As Volunteers’ Week continues, today we’re sharing John’s story and saying ‘Thank you!’
John was one of the three people who founded Rowan in 1984. He then spent about 30 years as a committee member, before deciding to take a step back. Since John wanted to keep in touch, he decided to volunteer for Rowan.
John has helped out at lots of fundraising events – but as a keen artist himself, his favourite event to support is Rowan’s annual art exhibition. ‘I’ll put myself forward to do anything these days,’ says John. ‘But my hobby is painting – I’m an amateur artist myself.’
