Volunteers’ Week: Ruby and Martha

Ruby volunteers at the Machan Trust, near Glasgow, who focus on making life better for children in the area and is funded by Children in Need.

Ruby is 90 and when her husband passed away 14 years ago, Martha the Volunteer Co-ordinator asked her if she’d like to help out at the Machan Trust by sending out birthday cards to all the children. She writes them all by hand, and delivers them to their front door on their special day. To date, she’s written over 300 cards. “I’m certainly happy I was part of it, it just brought me back to normal.â€
