Duncan, 65, is semi-retired and signed up to volunteer at the shelter two years ago. He loves cooking and wanted to use the skills he developed in hotel and property management to help others. “Being in the kitchen is a hobby of mine and so it is great to be making meals here at the shelter each week. I I feel a sense of satisfaction when we put together a big meal for all the guests”, he says. “As I am no longer working I have a lot more spare time and I think it is important to help people who are not as fortunate as I am in life”. Duncan has a particular soft spot for Mediterranean food. He enjoys making pasta dishes or fish with roasted vegetables for the guests, although he is not so fond of doing the washing up!
