Sandra Lumbard is one of those people who seem to always be on the go. Sitting down and doing nothing is just not a thing 😀
Not only does she volunteer with Hallswood but our friends at PACT too!

Hi Sandra!
First things first: how did you find Hallswood?
-Just over 2 years ago Lyz posted that she needed urgent accommodation for 3 cats. I watched the post all day but and eventually messaged asking if the situation was resolved, 'no', we are desperate. I said 'I don't do cats but there is a cattery at the house I have bought you can us'. Since then there's been about 24 foster cats and 1 foster dog from Hallswood!
And how long have you been volunteering now and what did you help with before lockdown?
Could you tell our followers about the amazing things you did to help us through lockdown?
-During lockdown I have had a charity stall at my gate. I also accepted recycling here.
How much have you raised so far? I say so far because I do believe that you still have a GoFundMe page up and running?
What is your favourite part of helping Hallswood?
-Favourite part is fostering the cats!
And dare I ask what the worst part is?
-Worst part is sorting the recycling.
What would you say to encourage someone to help us by joining our crazy family of volunteers?
-I would encourage anyone to volunteer, it feels great to be valued and there is a huge variety of things you can do donating as much or as little of you time as you want.
Famous last words: what is your favourite saying?
-Favourite saying is a bit morbid but I always say ' I can sit still when I'm dead, there will be more than enough time then'
