Yvonne began volunteering in Newcastle 2 years before retirement and has now been assisting in both the House and J1 Family Room for 15 years. Yvonne is also an active member of our Friends of Ronald McDonald House fundraising group, helping with stalls, BBQs and other events. Yvonne loves volunteering and meeting new people. She says, “Being at the House is a great leveller, and makes you realise that some problems you have are not nearly as bad as other families have it.”
