“I thoroughly enjoyed it. We spent a couple of hours together and all the children had dressed up for the day, of what they wanted to be when they grew older.” “I believe volunteering is extremely important. It is absolutely fantastic to see professionals from all sectors giving up their valuable time in order to inspire, support and guide the youth of today and to give them all ideas as to how the world of work, works. During my school time, we didn’t have people to come in and help assist us with making career choices, or even to give us an insight in to their live, so to have this ability, and to allow the children to chase their dreams through our experiences are vital to the next generation.” Adam Pattison, West Cumbria lead for Armstrong Watson LLP
