Abbie Stephenson

I recently began volunteering at Camphill, where I support residents with additional needs in a range of arts and crafts activities. I help residents learn new creative techniques and produce different forms of artwork by preparing materials, assisting with projects, and providing guidance throughout activities such as painting, pottery, and textiles. Through this role, I encourage confidence, self-expression, and active participation while promoting a positive and inclusive creative environment. As someone with a strong passion for art, I enjoy helping residents explore their creativity and develop new artistic skills.

I gained experience by providing friendly customer service and helping customers by answering questions about products. I handled cash register transactions accurately as well as restocking and rotating items on the shop floor and in storage areas to keep shelves organised and well stocked. I sorted and organised donated items to support the charity shop’s fundraising efforts. I also spoke with customers about ways they could donate or volunteer, helping to support the charity and its work.
