Mike Scott
I wanted to find something that allowed me to both meet and help people and made use of my existing skills. It's very much a two-way thing.
Rob Twomey
Ian Sugden
Having spent 40 years in IT it is nice to be able to use my experience to assist people with their IT queries.
Paul Wilkinson
It's a great feeling when I show an attendee how to make a small change to their device that removes a source of frustration.
Caroline Howard
Matthew Benham
Charlie Henderson
I've spent 20 years working in the charity sector specialising in youth work, disability, mental health and working with neurodiversity. I've recently identified as non-binary. I love volunteering for Cambridge Online as it enables me to connect directly with my local community and put my knowledge and skills to good use to help tackle digital exclusion.
Nick Manning
I spend most of my days, face down in data and code. Throughout my career I've always strived to mentor and enable people to grow. Volunteering for Cambridge Online has given me an outlet where my knowledge and skills are helping to move the organisation forward; and by default, helping them to reach and help more people. It's a win win scenario

Simon Lumley
Having retired from a career in IT I'm pleased I can use my experience to help other people deal with an increasingly digital world.
Lase
When I saw Cambridge Online needed someone for friendly check-in calls, it resonated with me. With years of experience in customer support, I knew I could bring something real. Working with a team that provides resources and know-how for people to book a GP appointment or complete a job application independently is genuinely rewarding.
