Our Sparkle Volunteer Megan was featured in the South Wales Argus recently, discussing her achievement of winning the Volunteer of the Year award at last year's South Wales: Health and Care award ceremony.

Regular childhood trips to the centre for physio and occupational therapy led Megan to become a volunteer for the charity, which provides specialist leisure activities and clubs for youngsters with disabilities or developmental difficulties.

Among Megan's work for Sparkle includes volunteering at Medicinema, a state-of-the-art auditorium with 50 seats which provides access to cinema screenings for patients.

Speaking to the Argus recently, ahead of the 2023 edition of the awards, she said: "I was really shocked to win the award for Volunteer of the Year’ but also felt very proud of the achievement."

She added: "I started volunteering at the Serennu Children’s Centre for my Welsh Bacc Community Challenge and chose to continue because I enjoyed it and wanted to give back to a centre that has helped me a lot growing up."
