  • Meet Debbie

    Published 20/09/24, by Lauren Smith

    In an interview below, Debbie Merry, one of most loyal volunteers and the person in charge of our caravan holidays tells us why she started volunteering for Little Miracles and what she gets out of her experience of volunteering for us.

    Let’s introduce yourself. Tell us your name, what organisation you are representing, and your volunteer role!

    Hi I’m Debbie and my volunteering role is Caravan admin. Little Miracles have a Caravan in Norfolk and I deal with the advertising and booking of breaks. I additionally liaise with the Caravan site with regards to repairs. 

    How long have you been volunteering with Little Miracles?

    6 years 

    What made you decide to do volunteering?

    One of my friends asked me to help her out with the Caravan admin and I was happy to step in. I have been doing it on my own now for about 4 years. 

    What is the best thing about your time volunteering?

    I enjoy helping out and knowing that I make a difference. I am contacted by members at all times of the day with caravan queries. I have been known to be doing caravan work whilst lying on my sun lounger round the pool in Majorca! 

    What is the most challenging part?

    I think the most challenging part is being so far away from the caravan (it’s 75 miles from me) There are quite a lot of maintenance issues and it would be nice to be able to just pop over and check what’s wrong. 

    What contribution or achievement are you most proud of?

    I suppose I am most proud of doing it all on my own. There are usually about 50 bookings a year, so that is a lot of work but also a lot of happy people having an affordable enjoyable holiday. 

    What motivates you to stay involved in volunteering?

    I enjoy the work and am happy to give something back to this great charity. 

    What would you like to say to anyone who is considering volunteering?

    Do it! It’s very rewarding and you’ll really make a difference to other people’s lives. 

    We are so incredibly grateful to Debbie and all of our volunteers. They positively impact the lives of our families and in Debbie's case can help families get a break and some time together at what could be the very lowest time of their lives.

    If you would like to volunteer for Little Miracles and help us to be here for more families, please follow the link below to find out more or email us at volunteering@littlemiraclescharity.org.uk.

  • Meet Cheryl

    Published 20/09/24, by Lauren Smith

    Meet Cheryl, Our Nottingham Branch Lead

    Cheryl first started attending Little Miracles events and activities last year. After experiencing the positive impact on her family, she decided to join us as a volunteer.

    For Cheryl, Little Miracles has been a place where her son Ben can truly be himself—free from judgment and surrounded by love and acceptance.

    Now, as a volunteer, Cheryl is dedicated to helping other families access the same opportunities. She offers support to parents who may be struggling, something she personally found difficult when Ben was younger, like completing the daunting DLA forms.

    One of Cheryl’s greatest joys is seeing the smiles on families' faces after a day out or an event that she helped make possible. It's a reminder of the difference Little Miracles can make for families like hers.
