welcome to Our new volunteer coordinator

We are delighted to introduce Ruhena Akhtar, our new Volunteer Coordinator. 

We asked Ruhena a bit about herself and she told us she was brought up in North Hertfordshire with a background working for corporate organisations and charities. Ruhena is a practicing psychotherapist/counsellor with her own private practice and is a passionate advocate of mental health and combating abuse and harmful practices.

Ruhena has an interest in charities and has been involved in charitable projects and community work for many years, including working with asylum seekers and refugees at a law firm and a refuge.

With a migrant background herself, she says she is looking forward to helping @hertswelcomesrefugees to make a positive impact and we love her quote: "We never know what one ripple will make in a person’s life, we should thrive for a positive one".

🙏🏻Ruhena, we all look forward to working with you!
