It's not that I've never volunteered before - being a member of various netball teams over the years has seen me take on numerous roles from captaincy to club secretary and publicity to coaching, but I guess many of them have been an extension of something I was already doing.
But this time I wanted to do something else, something that worked with the lives of my children and that I know I could do and still fit in with working. So when Joshua's pre school committee were looking for new people to join then I decided it was time to get involved.
The pre school has a committee run approach so are really involved in the day to day management and overseeing of how the pre school runs. With one child just having started and another to hopefully join in a few years I wanted to take an active role in helping the school develop and thrive and provide a positive experience for children in the village.
I've only been to one meeting so far, and don't have a specific role, but will get more to do as things go on, helping with various events and encouraging people to get involved. It's not much at the moment but it's a start and also helping me to meet more mums and get to know more people in the area too.
And if I can do something to help in the education and understanding of other young children then it's not too difficult a decision to take. I hope I can play a part in it growing from strength to strength.
