On the 3rd October 2016, I attended my induction, I wanted to volunteer as a maintenance assistant and I was really happy to get that role and to be working at Fulham Palace.
Becoming a maintenance assistant was amazing and the experience was very good and challenging, it was a great pleasure working with the caretaker, I had a great time working with him while learning new skills, and being given advice and support. What I liked about the handyman role is the challenges I've encountered, helping others, looking after the grounds of Fulham Palace, preparing for the events and also witnessing the events. I enjoyed being a part of the events and seeing everyone and everbody enjoying themselves.
It was a privelege meeting and working with the volunteers being able to have a conversation and being part of a team made me feel more confident. For me working for Fulham Palace was a wonderful experience and I wouldn't have leaned anything or being able to meet new people if it wasn't for them, and gaining experience from the caretaker made me learn some new things which I could use in the future. Again it's been a privilege working as a volunteer maintenance assistant and I would definitely go back there and work again.
