Andy Chaggar

@NUTHVolunteers @CaPP3 @NewcastleHosps Thanks so much for inviting me, it was a brilliant event and I really enjoyed meeting all the amazing volunteers

Thanks to @AndyChaggar, @CaPP3 for presenting, Volunteer Joe Haigh for fab 'Rat Pack' entertainment & Hilton Hotel for hosting the Covid 19 Response Volunteers Appreciation Event. @NewcastleHosps Vols have been a fundamental part of the incredible 767,843 Vacs given to date.

We are honoured to have you with us Andy - you are an inspiration to us all @NUTHVolunteers

Thank you @AndyChaggar for speaking at @NewcastleHosps volunteer appreciation event. Everyone in the room was transfixed with your inspirational story of resilience, determinarion and hope. Volunteering not only benefits the people we help, but also the lives of Volunteers too!

Great to meet our guest speaker Andy Chaggar at the celebration of ⁦@NewcastleHosps⁩ volunteers. First to arrive was 90 year old Pat Dodds who has been a volunteer at Freeman hospital since 1978

It’s brilliant to have been booked for a speaking engagement so soon after putting myself back out there in a recent Channel 5 documentary. If you or someone you know is looking for a speaker for an event you can find out more here: speaker.andychaggar.com

I’ll also be exploring parallels with how volunteering during Covid may have benefitted the audience, and relating my own experiences of loss and loneliness after losing my partner to what many have faced due to the pandemic and lockdowns.

I’m genuinely honoured to be speaking this afternoon at an appreciation event for an amazing group of Covid Response Volunteers who’ve supported their local communities with @NUTHVolunteers

Thanks so much for sharing @DLGroupMedia :) Always proud to be working together.

A HUGE thank you to all who watched episode 1 of the Channel 5 documentary about the 2004 tsunami last night. It’s obviously a harrowing subject, & strange to see yourself on TV, so your comments and messages of support were appreciated.

Over three nights, @channel5_tv reveals what really happened on Boxing Day 2004. Watch Tsunami: Impact, starting Monday at 9pm on @channel5_tv. #TsunamiImpact

We’re aiming to support 1,000 young people with their search for work by connecting them with 300 recruitment experts at @Talent International. Young people can register here: talentrise.org/rise-day/

As Director of @Talent RISE UK I’d also like to raise awareness about a new challenge we’ve set ourselves this September.

I have a few butterflies in my stomach today because over the next two evenings my story will be featured in a Channel 5 documentary about the 2004 tsunami in Thailand: channel5.com/show/tsunami/
