How some of Aviva's volunteers have been helping
I’m an Independent Visitor for a young person in care, so I visit my buddy each month to give her support, share new experiences and build a connection.
Claire Jermany Grange, Senior Media Relations Manager
Following displacement from Equal Brewkery’s previous premises, Aviva are helping convert a shipping container into a microbrewery. I am project managing and doing some of the work.
Carl Billham, Change integration management
I train for marathons in volunteering time and fundraise for charities that are close to my heart. I also use it to give blood. I worked out that I’ve donated all the blood in my body nearly 4.5 times!
