Meet Shirley Kay our new Volunteering Manager

Hello, my name is Shirley. I’m originally from Teeside but I’m now living in Skirlaugh, one of the East Hull villages.

I’ve been managing and working with volunteers for over thirty years in various organisations including in donation centres, charity shops and hostels. My favourite part of the job is meeting people and offering fulfilling activities. There is huge variety in the work and every day is different.

I’m looking forward to reaching out to some new groups of people to get involved in Hull Minster’ volunteering programme. We offer all sorts roles and there will be training and development as well as regular social activities.

I am looking forward to working in the building, which I have visited on several occasions, as a singer in a choir and as a general visitor. It has a great atmosphere and is always a warm and friendly place to visit.

A little bit about me. I have three children one in Portsmouth, one in Brighton and one in Manchester so I don’t get to see them very often, but I do look forward to seeing them over my holidays.

I’ve got all sorts of hobbies and interests and have a little Westie dog. I have a cross-section of favourite music from modern opera to choral and anything really from the 70s Glam rock in particular
