Action for Deafness CEO Jane Shaw addressed a reception in the House of Commons on Thursday 10 November to celebrate 30 years of the Department of Health's Opportunities for Volunteering (OVF)
Jane spoke of the benefits the OfV scheme had brought to AFD from 3 perspectives; for the volunteers, for the service users and for herself. Jane began working with AFD as a volunteer 15 years ago and went on to become volunteer co-ordinator a role which was funded by OFV before becoming CEO 4 years ago.
