About the volunteer Emma

WHAT A LEGEND! Not even sure what to start with. Emma joined us here in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago and I wish she never left! She's a brilliant volunteer, but mostly an amazing human being, who quickly became a part of our CoDE family. She gets along with all the staff members and is very kind and helpful with guests. She mostly did breakfast shifts, but was also very helpful with nightshifts, which I really appreciate. We are missing her badly and cannot wait for her to come back to start her life in Edinburgh! Big hugs Emma, thank you so so much! Agata and the whole team x
