Mark Dunne and Lorna Wickes

Our volunteers of the week this time are Mark Dunne and Lorna Wickes. Mark and Lorna have been nominated for the fantastic work that they did last weekend in support of our Sunday meal service.

Unfortunately at both Hammersmith and Bermondsey a driver had to drop off rota on Sunday morning due to unforseen circumstances. Mark was lead cooking at Hammersmith and Lorna was supervising at Bermondsey. Rather than place the burden of a driver shortage on other volunteers, both opted to go out and drive despite having already done a hard morning's work as part of the Sunday service.

Mark has been volunteering with The Food Chain variously as a lead cook and driver (and also as a former trustee) since November 1999. When not volunteering with The Food Chain he loves most things from the 80s, hugs from his boyfriend and roast chicken with all the trimmings ("Christmas is like the FA Cup final for me as you get the king of roast dinners!"). His messages for fellow volunteers are "enjoy your volunteering experience and make the most of it through friendships made and skills picked up. Thanks to the great team at Hammersmith, it is always good to see them."

Lorna has been volunteering with The Food Chain variously as a supervisor and driver (and also as a former Chair of Trustees) since September 1992.

Thank you to both of them for their wonderful support at the weekend.
