St John saved him and 40-plus years later he's still volunteering
A passing ambulance picked Vernon "Bill" Hill up off the road after a motorbike accident in 1956. He was 22 at the time, and injuries almost cost him his left hand. A few years later he decided he'd better give something back to the organisation which saved him. It was the start of 40-plus years of volunteering and, at 85, he's still going.
We're just coming to the end of National Volunteer Week. Do you know some great volunteers?

Have you tried this cafe?
Ethos Cafe isn’t just serving food - it’s rethinking the entire food system. From growing its own produce to composting kitchen waste back into the soil, this cafe is closing the loop, one plate at a time.
“We grow our own food, bring it into the kitchen, and whatever’s left goes back into our garden,” says head chef Chris McIntosh.
Have you tried this cafe? Tell us about it in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
