Janette Jones

What’s your volunteer role? I lead the Tuesday exercise class at Bramley Community Centre and supervise bingo on Thursdays.
How long have you been a volunteer? Since January 2017, doing the exercise class since the Spring.
Why did you get involved? After retiring, at first my family needed me, but then I felt a bit redundant. It’s given me back my pep and vitality!
Three words that sum up BEA for you? Friendship, caring, included
What do you get out of volunteering? Feeling wanted and valued. It’s good for my self-worth. I can do what I’ve trained in all my life.

Where were you born? Lee Moor Common (a village near Wakefield.) I moved to Bramley in 1965.
What’s your favourite film? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
And your favourite book? Things by Dilly Court and Josephine Cox.
