Findlay

Written by Emily Skilton

Meet Findlay


Findlay initially went to CATH's charity shop to volunteer as part of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award and is still volunteering with them over 8 years later!


Recently graduating with a degree in Art and Contemporary Practices he's a keen artist, and particularly enjoys works from the Impressionist movement. He has seen an exhibition of one of his favourite painters, Claude Monet, at the National Gallery. As well as being creative, he enjoys a physical game of volleyball and plays for his University team who recently reached the Varsity final.


While volunteering for CATH, he enjoys meeting new people, helping others and engaging with the community. Findlay recommends volunteering to everyone as a great way to interact with the community and learn new things.


He says "I definitely recommend volunteering, it's not like a job, it's fun and it gets you out the house for a few hours. I enjoy engaging with other people and it's helped develop my social skills over the years."
