Meet Some of Our Volunteers
Sue Case
Former missioner, Volunteer Visitor & Driver
I joined DTM as Missioner in 2011 after retiring from the civil service, I had no previous involvement with DTM and had limited knowledge of what they did other that what I had learnt through my church.
I haven’t looked back since joining DTM, I found the Missioner’s job very fulfilling and rewarding, and with the help of the volunteers was able to make a difference to the lives of many elderly people in Darlington.
Due to family commitments, I retired as Missioner in 2018 but didn’t hesitate to continue as a volunteer as DTM do such good and worthwhile work in the Borough of Darlington.
Ian & Heather Ritchie
Volunteer DRIVERS
This was a charity we had not previously heard about, but after discovering what a worthwhile cause it was, we were more than happy to volunteer as drivers.
We’ve met some lovely people with really interesting stories to tell and it is just so heartwarming to be able to bring them all together to meet their friends.
Tom Fowke
Volunteer Visitor & Driver
I moved to Darlington in 2015 and happened to be at Holy Trinity Church when one of the ministers gave out some publicity for the Town Mission. I signed up as a volunteer. This role gives me much pleasure. For several years I regularly visited an elderly man at home and we both enjoyed our chats. Now I help with driving our elderly Friends on their monthly outings.
