My name is Richard Carr and on the 8th October 2008, I attended an interview with PEP through my administration course with Edinburgh City Council,
As soon as I walked through the doors of PEP I could feel the warmth of the Centre and knew straight away this was where I wanted to spend the 12 week placement programme. I have been here 4 weeks so far, and met many great people, both management, staff and the people who use the services PEP provides.
I have spent a lot of time helping with small projects in administration, working in the social clubs and with the painting and decorating team. These along with escorting on the buses, working with the home helps, and many other experiences have made up a very varied month.
PEP is a GREAT place to Volunteer or gain experience if you are studying or thinking of going into the social care industry.
