Team BBB

My connection to Bromley Brighter Beginnings goes right back to its founding, when my two sons were tiny; today they’re young men, and BBB has become a vital part of our community. As well as being Chair of BBB, I’m a self‑employed lawyer and run a legal advice clinic in South East London, working to improve access to justice for those who need it most.  

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me practising yoga, teaching meditation, walking in nature or growing vegetables. It’s a privilege to continue to help guide BBB’s mission and support families across the borough, and I am incredibly proud of our wonderful team. 

I discovered BBB in 2019 after looking for places to donate my baby items to local families. I was impressed by the volunteers and how the community would pull together to support requests for basic baby goods like nappies and formula.

I wanted to get involved with BBB by using skills gained from my professional career so joined as a Trustee where I work with 6 others to help govern BBB and also support the Treasurer with some financial tasks. I really enjoy volunteering with BBB knowing that my time is spent supporting those in need.

I live with my husband and 2 young, energetic, children and work full time managing pharma client relationships for a large Contract Research Organisation. In my spare time I enjoy swimming and reading.

I was looking for a way to use my finance skills to give something back to the community and came across the advert for the Treasurer position at BBB. I immediately thought this would be perfect for me. I was impressed with how much BBB had grown as a charity over the last few years and, when I joined the Facebook group, I got a sense of just how many families they were helping in the local area.

I bring over 30 years of experience in financial management and my role as Treasurer works to ensure the organisation remains financially sound and transparent, enabling it to continue making a positive impact in the lives of those in need.

I work as a Fractional CFO for a number of early stage software businesses. I have two teenage children and when I am not ferrying them around, I try to play as much tennis as I can.

I started volunteering with Bromley Brighter Beginnings in 2014 and have been a Trustee for the past 10 years. It’s been a privilege to see BBB go from strength to strength and to be part of such a fantastic team.

I work for a debt advice charity, leading our financial capability and money education work and helping people feel more confident and secure with their finances.

Outside work, I love travel, hiking with my dog, gluten-free baking and drinking wine with my book club, and I’m a reluctant runner. I’ve even persuaded my husband to volunteer for BBB, helping distract us from our newly acquired ‘empty nest’ status!

I’ve been a trustee of Bromley Brighter Beginnings since 2023, and it’s been a real pleasure to be part of the charity’s journey over the last three years. As a mum of two young boys, I feel strongly about the importance of giving every child and family the best possible start. I’m particularly proud to contribute to shaping BBB’s strategic direction and supporting its continued growth and evolution. One of my personal highlights was running the marathon for BBB in 2025, raising funds for a cause close to my heart.

I work in the NHS, leading transformation programmes focused on improving services and making a difference to patients and communities.

Outside work and BBB, life is usually about keeping up with two energetic boys! I love running, fitness and finding new family adventures. I’m also currently training to become a qualified coach, reflecting my interest in helping people realise their potential.

I have been a trustee for BBB for nearly four years and a supporter since shortly after it began, when I was looking for somewhere to donate baby items.  As a teacher, I see firsthand the effect financial hardship can have on a child’s self-esteem, wellbeing and ability to concentrate at school.    Knowing that we can make a small but significant difference, by providing a bed so that a child can get a good night’s sleep or school uniform so children can walk into school with pride, makes the work especially meaningful.    

I enjoy talking to local groups about the support BBB provides and meeting supporters at our fundraising events.  During the summer holidays, I join our school uniform volunteers, helping to source and deliver uniform to families across the borough.   

When I’m not working or volunteering, I try to get to the gym regularly and love spending time with friends and family.  

Having stumbled across BBB’s Facebook page when looking for somewhere to donate my children’s clothes, the power of community and the amazing work being done by a local group of women like me blew me away and when the opportunity to join the team as an FLV came up in 2019 I jumped at the chance to get involved. In 2022 I became Referrals Manager, dealing with the referrals made to the charity on a daily basis and in this role, seeing the difference our service is making to families across the borough makes me so proud to be a part of this team. In the few years that I have volunteered for the charity I have seen it double in size and I am really excited to take this next step with the charity and move into the role of trustee as the charity grows.

I work full time as an Executive Assistant and IT Co-ordinator and have 2 children who keep me busy. When I am not ferrying them around to their extra curricular activities I enjoy playing netball and unwinding with a good book.

I’m really excited to have joined Bromley Brighter Beginnings and be working alongside such an incredible team of volunteers. I’m genuinely inspired by the hard work, commitment, and dedication they all bring to supporting families in our community. I’ve lived in the borough for almost 10 years; it is where I’ve made my home and am raising my three boys.

Having personally experienced support from services like BBB as a child, I understand first-hand the difference this kind of help can make. That experience has given me a real passion for supporting families and communities, and I’m proud to now be part of an organisation that does such important work. I’m looking forward to working with all the volunteers, getting stuck into the role, and working together with the community to make a positive impact for local families.

I first joined BBB as a Fundraising and Communications Volunteer in 2023, focusing primarily on comms. Life got in the way, but BBB has a way of pulling you back – returning for Christmas hamper packing day reminded me exactly why I got involved in the first place. The volunteers, the energy, the sheer kindness of everyone coming together – it is really something to be a part of.

With a background in finance, childcare and administration, I wanted to channel those skills into something that really matters — helping to raise funds and spread the word so BBB can reach even more families across our borough. As a parent myself, the thought of any child going without the basics is something I feel compelled to do something about. So, when the chance came along to take on a bigger role, I jumped at it!

Outside of work, I’m a mum to two girls and I love pilates, long walks and catching up with friends and family.

I first heard about BBB when my children were very young, and I immediately wanted to be part of a team who were so passionate about helping local families, and giving children the best possible start in life. I started volunteering in 2019, and I was so inspired by the work of the charity, its aims and goals, and especially its incredible volunteers. The passion and dedication of everyone at Bromley Brighter Beginnings is truly inspirational, and I feel privileged to be a member of Team BBB. As Projects and Stock Lead it is my mission to work alongside and support our amazing team to help as many families as possible across our borough.

Outside of BBB, I am a mum of three, active on my children’s school PTA, and you will often find me trying to turn my hand to some form of DIY or gardening project.

When I became a mother my perspective on what is really important in life changed. Becoming part of the BBB community is one of the most rewarding decisions I have made. Knowing I’m part of a team who helps a child get a good night sleep by providing a bed is the BEST feeling!

I work as a regional sales manager for a mortgage brokerage. I’m also a qualified positive psychology practitioner and coach at Bromley Rugby Club for under 8’s and the girls team.

Hi I’m Cally. I’m a 36 Mother of 1, currently living in Kent. I’m originally from Ireland but haven’t lived there in over 13 years. I go back often and it’ll always be ‘home’.
During the week, I’m a Recruiter for a Financial Services business and at the weekends you’ll find me pottering around our village and the surrounding fields, toddler-in-tow and whipping up a meal that doesn’t really fit into the mid-week dinner, bath, bed chaos.
I discovered BBB in the middle of one mid-night feed and couldn’t stop thinking about how Parenthood is hard, but how it can be a million times harder when you must worry about your family’s nourishment, warmth, or SafePlace. If BBB is helping parents feel a little bit lighter, sleep even little bit easier at night, then I am honoured to be part of it.

I am a long-standing supporter of BBB with regular donations and the Christmas appeal. I am passionate about helping families in need and giving children a better start in life. I have been a volunteer mentor with Bromley Mentoring Initiative for over 10 years supporting school children. I am also the Event Director of a junior parkrun which is organised by volunteers to put on free 2k events for children each week. I am excited to join the BBB team as a Referrer Engagement Volunteer to build relationships and do outreach to help more families. I have an energetic daughter who I try to keep up with. I also enjoy running, reading and travel.

After becoming a mum, I became much more aware of the challenges some local families face. Seeing the incredible work BBB does through campaigns such as Christmas for Every Child and A Bed for Every Child inspired me to get involved. I wanted to give something back to the community that has always been home and support a charity making such a meaningful difference to local families.
I’m a mum of one and have proudly called Beckenham home all my life. I work full-time and, while most of my career has been in finance as a Chartered Accountant, I’m currently enjoying an exciting career pivot into digital marketing.

I first heard about Bromley Brighter Beginnings through a friend who works for the charity. I visited the website and social media pages and knew instantly that this was a charity I would like to volunteer with. I was shocked at how many families within our borough were/are struggling. Being able to help in any way is a wonderful thing. I recently helped with the Christmas hamper campaign…who knew Christmas prep could start in August! The organisation and planning that goes into these campaigns is incredible and meeting all the wonderful volunteers on hamper packing day was a real joy…I look forward to many more. The help from local groups, club and businesses is huge and there is a real sense of everyone pulling together. This is such a fulfilling team to be a part of.

My name is Tanvi Hardikar, and I am reaching out to share how much I admire the work of Bromley Brighter Beginnings. I would be honored to contribute my time and energy to the team.
My professional background—spanning eight years across the UK insurance and banking industries—taught me the importance of building strong relationships and serving others. However, my most transformative experience has been becoming a mother in January 2024. Raising my baby has opened my eyes to the incredible challenges many local families face and, more importantly, the profound difference that community support can make.
I want my child to grow up in a world where we look out for one another. By volunteering with BBB, I hope to lead by example, showing my child that our success is defined not just by what we achieve, but by how we lift up those around us. This work is deeply fulfilling to me, and I am eager to apply my professional skills and my heart to help your team continue its vital mission.

I joined BBB during Covid 2020 as having been involved 1st hand in helping in the local community and seeing the value & impact of that I wanted to continue giving back directly to our community.

As a Grannie to 3 very fortunate young kids it breaks my heart to hear and see how hard it is for families we at BBB support. I am full of admiration for what BBB does through its volunteer team and supporters who make what we do possible and the practical help provided to families in need.

Having worked in project management for decades, I’m now enjoying semi retirement combining various volunteer work with time with the husband, bit of social running and being “owned” by our boxer dog girl.

I’ve supported Bromley Brighter Beginnings for a few years but wanted to do more to help, as I was saddened by the stories of families struggling in my local area. I joined as Community Engagement Volunteer and now also do most of our Facebook and Twitter posts. It’s been a great learning curve for me and I love being engaged with the work Team BBB do. I feel passionate about spreading the word about what we do so we reach as many local people as possible, whether as supporters or because they need our help.

I’m currently a stay-at-home parent to two daughters, and I enjoy reading and dress-making.

Becoming a first time mum in 2025 highlighted to me just how much is needed to care for a newborn – from nappies and wipes to prams and car seats – and how costly that is. Too many families in our community are experiencing poverty, which is why the work of Bromley Brighter Beginnings to lift that burden is vitally important. I’ve been a big admirer of their work for a long time and am thrilled to be part of the volunteer team and helping spread awareness even further.
Outside of my volunteer role with BBB, I’m a mum to a baby boy and Marketing Director for a book publisher.

I wanted to get involved with Bromley Brighter Beginnings because I was looking for a way to support something that has a real and positive impact within the local community. The work BBB does really stood out to me, particularly the practical support it provides to families across the borough.

I have recently moved back to Bromley to work in London on a part time basis with a partnership marketing agency. This has given me the opportunity to support my local community utilising my experience in sales, marketing and fundraising. The role that BBB play within the borough is hugely impressive and with the cost of living crisis the demand for its services is ever growing.

Outside of BBB in my spare time I enjoy playing several sports, hosting London Walking Tours and spending time with fiends and family.

Helen has lived in Bromley since 2020 but is originally from Shropshire. She became a mum in 2025 and wanted to get involved with the charity to support new parents. Her day job is at a charitable foundation where she supports people to volunteer their time and fundraise for charities across England and Wales.

I have volunteered for BBB since it’s inception. It’s a wonderful charity made up of lovely volunteers who do so much to directly help those in our community who are in dire need. I wanted to use my graphic design skills to help.

I also a volunteer designer for local community group Greener & Cleaner.

I’m a mum of two and in my spare time, I’m a musician and an artist.

I’m a friendly, family-oriented person who enjoys spending time with my family and friends, going to the gym, listening to music, travelling and getting creative. I love trying new things, meeting new people and making new experiences. I want to get involved because I’m keen to learn, build my confidence, meet like-minded people and be part of something positive where I can make a difference.

After a 40+ years career as a Civil Servant, both in the UK and overseas, I retired in 2024. I spend my time happily tending to my allotment and enjoy using the produce in cooking. That and walking my dog keep me active. I found I had a little spare time now that both our children are transitioning away from home and BBB is the natural place to volunteer to help as my wife already has a strong connection.

I’m passionate about making a positive difference in my local community and believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their family’s circumstances.

My professional background is in business development and corporate client relationship management, and I wanted to put those skills to good use supporting a cause close to home.

As a Corporate Fundraising Volunteer at BBB, I focus on building relationships with local businesses, developing new partnerships and finding creative ways for companies to support the charity’s work.

For me, it’s about connecting businesses that want to make a difference with families who genuinely need that support.

Originally from North Wales, I’ve called London home for the past 25 years, with the last 18 spent in the borough of Bromley. I’m also a mum to a teenage son, so I know how important it is for families to feel supported. Bromley is very much home to me now, and I’m proud to be giving something back to the community that’s been such a big part of my life.

I followed BBB on Facebook for a while and donated items when I could. I knew I wanted to become more involved seeing how desperate some families were from the basic items that were being requested. Whilst my job and family still take up a lot of my time, I was able to volunteer to set up and manage the WhatsApp Channel that BBB now have. My hope is that even this small role of sending updates and sharing community events and information ripple outward, making a positive contribution.

I’ve always gravitated toward roles involving care, safeguarding, and supporting others, I’ve worked in healthcare for 30 years and helping children is one of the few things that always feels worth my time. Going forward I have also agreed to become a Donations Outreach Volunteer as well, so hopefully this added WhatsApp channel will also be up and running soon.

My name is Ace, and as a TA, I am passionate about providing help and support to students by volunteering as a buyer admin to ensure all students are able to receive uniforms and have a great start of the school year! I enjoy creative activities like writing, drawing and crocheting, and I also enjoy meeting new people and making new connections! I want to volunteer with BBB because I believe volunteering will help families and communities to have less stress and have more support with the start of the new school year. I am excited to volunteer as a buyer admin, and hopefully I can help to make a difference!

I’ve lived in Bromley Borough for 12 years and have previously volunteered for local charities such as ReEngage (running monthly tea parties for socially isolated older people) and Bromley Borough Foodbank. Being of practical use to my community is important to me, and BBB was an obvious choice when I was looking for my next volunteering position, as I’ve admired their work from afar for years. My ‘day job’ is in the corporate world, and I’ve spent 20 years+ in human resources across charity, banking, advertising, and healthcare sectors. I live in Hayes with my adored cat, Audrey. I’m part of a choir in Beckenham, and this year have been putting effort into getting fit and strong at The Pavilion in Bromley as I face into middle age!

I visit many schools with my job and know how important it is for a child to feel that they fit in, which is why I wanted to volunteer with the school uniform project, making sure children who need it have a uniform just like their classmates. BBB does fantastic work and I wanted to join to help local families.
I have two older children and a dog, and enjoy reading, dance and art and going to the cinema and theatre.

I have lived in the borough for over 20 years and having recently taken early retirement, I wanted to use the time when I am not travelling to support my local community.  I saw the work that BBB do and immediately knew this was the organisation I wanted to volunteer for.  I have a background working in adult education and have spent many years putting support in place for adults in need so they can study and improve their lives.  Part of my retirement plan is to travel and I have been enjoying interrailing around Europe with my partner.  I love practicing yoga and have recently taken up dressmaking.

I’ve been looking for volunteering opportunities locally, as I really wanted to put my time to good use and help others.

I love that Bromley Brighter Beginnings helps get pre-loved items to families who need them most , it’s such a practical way for the community to support one another. I’m so excited to work with a charity that makes this happen and to get to know the wonderful women behind it.

I work full time in financial services and have 2 school age children. When I’m not clearing up after them, I enjoy cooking, reading and going to the theatre.

I think that charities like BBB are very worthwhile, so when I saw the advertisement for volunteers, I felt I should apply. I used to work in conjunction with charities when I was a social worker and always found it rewarding. Now I have retired and our grandchildren have grown. I have an opportunity to give something back to the community.
The work BBB does in providing school uniforms to children is so important as it allows them to attend school with confidence, as well as supporting parents who are struggling financially.
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, gardening, theatre trips, travelling and days out. I also enjoy crochet, reading and doing Duolingo.

I am a qualified teacher now working full time in a local nursery. I am Chair of Bromley and Chislehurst Cancer Research Committee and can often be seen at school summer and Christmas fairs. In my spare time, I enjoy my new hobby – crochet! I am a mum and nanny to two beautiful children. My grandson is nearly 4 and my granddaughter is nearly 9months old. I was a single parent from when my daughter was 3 years old, but I was lucky enough to have the support of my parents, which is why I would like to help and support families that are not in the position I was. I am really looking forward to working with Bromley Brighter Beginnings.

I had supported BBB through offering donations initially. The opportunity to volunteer for them came up. I felt that I wanted to give more to help families in need & support this amazing charity.

I’m a Children’s Nurse at Evelina London, I am a co-leader at St Augustine’s Parent & Toddler Group. I’m a big fan of the outdoors & love to cycle.

I have lived in Biggin Hill for 30 years. I have 2 children, 2 step children and 4 grandchildren who I love spending time with. My hobbies include regular visits to the theatre, watching TV, knitting and reading. Now retired, I felt I wanted to give something back and thought this would be a worthwhile cause.

I was a supporter of BBB for a few years and thought the way they passed on high quality children’s items from families who no longer needed them to those who couldn’t afford them was a great idea and decided to get more involved when I saw them advertise for more volunteers.

I joined as a Family Liaison Volunteer, coordinating getting donations to families mainly in the Orpington/Mottingham/Chislehurst areas. After a couple of years I took the opportunity to join the Communications team which has enabled me to learn another side of the charity and develop new skills.

Since being a part of BBB I’ve met so many genuinely kind supporters and am proud to be part of a fantastic team helping families who are so thankful for the help. Outside of BBB I have two energetic primary aged children and a house renovation to keep me busy.

I have lived in the Borough for over 20 years and work full time as an A&E nurse. I also volunteer with the Trussel Trust at the local food bank. I have followed BBB on Facebook for some time and seen how hard the team work to help families in need. My experience at work and at the food bank has shown me the huge amount of families that struggle to provide event the basics for their children. It is because of this that I wanted to give my time to help make a difference.

I am a mum to two grown up children and along with spending time with my family I enjoy reading and running.

I live locally and work as an accountant. Volunteering is important to me because it gives me the chance to give something back to the community and support people who may be going through difficult times.

I joined BBB after meeting one of the trustees and hearing more about the important work the charity does. As a woman, I am particularly saddened by stories of domestic abuse and the challenges many families face. I wanted to play a small part in helping local families through difficult times.

Team BBB means a lot to me as my start in life was not dissimilar to some of the families we help. I’m looking forward to helping the FLVs by providing an organised, easy access storage space.

Outside of BBB I’m kept busy running around after my two children and husband. I play tennis, enjoy pilates and yoga and have recently started CrossFit. I love catching up with friends over a drink and dinner.

When I heard about Bromley Brighter Beginnings through a friend, I thought it would be a fantastic local charity to volunteer for. Being a lifelong Bromley resident it is extremely rewarding to contribute to the local community.
Having worked at a local secondary school and co-ordinated the pre-loved uniform stock, I have witnessed first-hand the tremendous difference a uniform donation can make to a struggling family.
I live in Chelsfield with my husband, three children and two dogs! I have been a maths tutor for many years and in my spare time i love to crochet, quilt and visit the theatre.

Hello, I asked to join up with Bromley Brighter Beginnings as my friend Jenny works with them. I was pretty shocked when she told me there were young families living without basic provisions like a bed. It just seemed astonishing to me, especially in a borough I knew well having been brought up in the area. So it’s great BBB can step in, making a real difference to the lives of its clients. In the past I raised funds for the charity completing a half marathon. I work as a journalist and outside of that, I run a local veterans football team which is a good laugh.

I’m a friendly and caring person who enjoys helping others and getting involved in my local community. I have a passion for volunteering and have supported people in healthcare and education settings, which has been incredibly rewarding. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, keeping active, and trying new experiences. I wanted to get involved with BBB because I believe in giving back, building connections, and being part of something that makes a positive difference in people’s lives.

I have been donating items to the charity for a few years and value items being re-used for those in need. I’m glad to be part of the team and play my own part in helping local families.

I have 2 girls of my own and I’m a physiotherapist by background. I look forward to seeing how the charity grows over the years to help even more families.

I’ve lived in the borough of Bromley for over ten years, and I’m bringing up my two children here. I’ve become very aware of how many families are struggling locally, and how the Covid pandemic has made life even more difficult for many. After following BBB on facebook, I decided I wanted to get more involved.

In my spare time I enjoy running and cycling, and hiking with my family in the Kent countryside

After years working in housing and education, I retired but wanted to continue offering support to families in the area. I love the support that BBB offers and know only too well how much it is needed.

I’m looking forward to volunteering. I know the support of BBB makes a huge difference to local families and I’m happy to be part of such a fantastic organisation.

Having worked locally as a community midwife for a number of years, I can see at first-hand the difference BBB make to families in need of support, especially those with new babies.

I’m a local mum to two young boys and have always thought BBB is a fantastic charity. I think it provides such a valuable service, supporting families in the community while also giving pre-loved items a new lease of life.

As a social worker, I’ve worked alongside similar organisations and have seen first-hand the positive difference they make to children and their families. I was really pleased to see a volunteer opportunity come up and am very much looking forward to getting involved and working alongside the team.

I originally discovered BBB on Facebook through one of their Christmas Hamper appeals a few years ago, and I have been a supporter ever since. The fact that there are so many families in the Borough of Bromley that are struggling to provide clothing basics for their children is heart breaking. A few recent life changes have meant that I am now in a position to help in a more practical way, so when a post in my area became available, I wanted to offer to help. Knowing that 100% of all donations go directly to the families that need it is an important part of deciding to support BBB. These donations make such a difference to the daily life of ‘our’ families, and seeing how the local community rally together to provide these donations is a privilege.

I have followed the wonderful work of Bromley Brighter Beginnings for a number of years and have always donated whenever I am able. I have several friends who hold various roles within BBB, and I have continually been inspired by the difference the organisation makes within the community. When I saw the opportunity to volunteer as a Family Liaison, I felt it would be a fantastic way to give back and contribute more directly.

I am passionate about helping others, particularly those who may be facing challenging circumstances, and I regularly volunteer my time or find ways to support my local community.

In my spare time, I enjoy crocheting, reading, and walking my dog—although these days I am most often found acting as a full-time chauffeur for my three children!

I got involved with Bromley Brighter Beginnings after hearing about it from a friend.  
Once I started following on Facebook my heart hurt for the families that are in need and I just knew that I had to get involved and become a volunteer.  The work that is being done by this wonderful charity restores faith in human nature.  People are so kind and it is lovely to be involved with people that care about others. In my other life I have a demanding full time job as an estate agent selling new build properties ,2 grown up wonderful children and share the family Cockapoo who often comes with me to make deliveries to our mums.  I often think they are more pleased to see him than me!

I joined the BBB Facebook group years ago, giving donations of baby items, toys and clothes that my 2 children had outgrown. I’ve also donated during the Christmas Hamper Campaigns. I became a Family Liaison Volunteer in 2022 and find it very rewarding seeing how the charity really does make a direct difference in the community. I liaise with referred families directly to understand how the charity can help them, then request and gather donations ready to deliver to the families.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what you can do to help families that need it in our own community, but BBB operates very effectively to get practical items directly where they are needed. Whether that’s donating outgrown clothes and toys, buying extra everyday baby items in the weekly shop or making generous donations – the supporter base is so valued and so important to the charity. It is very rewarding seeing how the community pull together to help others, many of us have so many useful items that we no longer use or don’t know what to do with, and BBB can help get these to families that need them. I enjoy volunteering and doing something practical that I can see is making a difference.

I had followed BBB for a while, I donated where and when I could. When I saw the advert to apply to volunteer for the charity I jumped at the chance. A charity that helps local people was just what I wanted to do. I have three young children and I thought how I could do something worth while and make it work around my children easily.

I have always helped different charities and wanted to help a charity in my borough, specifically to help families in need. BBB is a great charity to work for and I enjoy helping families in need directly. It’s extremely rewarding.

I started working part-time as an executive assistant in the city when my eldest son started primary school in 2016. I had only worked full time prior to this but I wanted to spend more quality time with my children. I also didn’t want to miss out on the school runs and school holidays!

I’m a stay at home mum of 3 so I understand the needs of having a family and the financial pressures this brings.

No child should go without, and having the opportunity to give back to those children and families in my local community is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. Repurposing items that still have a life left in them and bringing them to the children who can get the use from them is fantastic!

To be able to be a part of this organisation and make a positive impact helping other families is a privilege.

I came across BBB’s Facebook page some time ago and always thought what a fantastic charity and donated when I could. Now seems a good time in my life to join the team – I really want to give something back to the community and I know how hard it can be struggling financially with young children.
My own children are grown up now – in my spare time I like to run and do yoga, read and just spend time with my family and friends.

I started following BBB a while back on Facebook and admired how much support they were giving to families all year round. I honestly did not realise the level of need in our local borough before this. As soon as a position came up to volunteer with this charity, I knew it was something I wanted to help with. It breaks my heart knowing that there are children on my doorstep that are in need.

I grew up in Hayes and moved back to the area in March 2021. I work full time as a Chartered Accountant and I’m a dog mum to a chihuahua who is a complete diva!

Being a mum to three girls, it’s really important for me to showcase the value of being kind and supporting others.

Having donated to BBB for a number of years, now that I have the opportunity of being a Family Liason Volunteer, I hope to be able to do that little bit more on regular basis. A practical way of playing my part in making a difference.

I work full time with the Financial Services industry in London as an HR Business Partner but nothing makes me prouder or happier than being with my family.

I became aware of BBB through one of their Christmas Hamper campaigns and I have followed and supported them for a couple of years now.  

Having lived in Bromley for over 20 years and having brought up my two (now fully grown!) children here, I jumped at the chance when a position recently became available for a Family Liaison Volunteer with BBB. The charity provides such fantastic direct and practical support to local families in the borough and I am proud to be a part of the team!
