Jonathan’s Story

Jonathan is one of our amazing volunteers who works on our reception desk. He was interviewed by Good Things Foundation about the support he’s received through being a member of Learn for Life.

“The support from Learn for Life is a huge blessing – having the internet from the Databank and a laptop from the Device Bank means I can eat and afford my other amenities without worrying about internet costs for the month.”
