💫 Success stories
Graphic Designer from Manchester, UK 🇬🇧
Darya's story: “In summer 2022, I filled SUN’s online form for volunteers, which popped up on my Instagram feed. Soon after, I had a nice introductory call with Saya, a project team member, where we talked about gender equality, people’s suffering caused by war and volunteering as a way to do something about it. That’s how I became a part of Future of Work initiative, where I worked on a number of great projects and met incredible people.
“For me, volunteering is about building a safety net for those who really need support. This makes me believe in the good nature of people, and that things can change for the better.”
