Quote

When you have been away for a long time you can suffer from anxiety about coming back into society but this slowly eases you back in. It’s great for picking up skills if you have a massive gap on your CV and building up references. I had never worked in a charity shop before Sue Ryder or even in retail really but I have learned loads from this experience."
