Peter Holdsworth- gardening and passenger assistance
My name is Peter and I started volunteering in 2009 after my college course finished. I heard about PEP through other groups in the area and I wanted to volunteer to get out of the house, to help others and to gain confidence. I have been awarded an Edinburgh City Council Inspiring Volunteers award for my work in the gardening team.
At PEP I volunteer in lots of different roles. I help with gardening and as a passenger assistant helping people on and off the buses. Sometimes I help with the weekend resource and clubs.
Through volunteering with PEP I have learnt new tasks and skills that I never had before. The staff and volunteers here are very nice and friendly and so I am happy and enjoy my role as a volunteer at PEP.

Update on Andrew Crighton - September 09

It was last September when we proudly announced that Andrew had found employment at the Capital Hotel in Clermiston. Still employed and enjoying his work, Andrew recently bought a new push bike to travel to his workplace from his home in Muirhouse. Andrew realises the importance of his life-long learning sessions with PEP and faithfully attends every week in his free time. His new chosen subject is that of the American way of life - past and present. From John Wayne to Basketball, if you want to discuss it - talk to Andrew !!. Andrew, we at PEP are delighted with your continued dedication and wish you well for the future.

by Working Links. He identified driving as an interest he would like to pursue with us (being an experienced driver) and was put through the MIDAS Test by Roy Douglas, our Qualified Assessor and full-time Volunteer Manager. That was on the Friday. By Monday Charlie had his first run on our accessible buses saying "I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend and encourage anyone to volunteer rather than sit about the house. We appreciate and value the contribution people like Charlie make to improving conditions for the people in our local community, and who else better to do it with than ----- PEP!!
