Volunteer - Coral Cartwright Cakebread
Coral set up Lochwinnoch Cares at the outset of the pandemic, and continues to run the group providing these vital services which have been a lifeline for many. Coral is hands-on and delivers weekly food parcels, in partnership with the Larder and she carries out errands for Service Users as well as befriending duties.
Coral is a volunteer Committee Member for the Food Committee and advises on all matters concerning LEAP Together projects.
An all-round good egg, Coral's compassionate nature and her sensitivity to Service Users' dignity and privacy, make her the perfect person for the role she carries out. Lochwinnoch, and LEAP Together are lucky to have her!
