VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AT JESUS CENTRE
A double hip replacement operation hasn’t stopped Rune Carlberg, 61, from giving his all at Coventry Jesus Centre.
He leads an amateur art group, volunteers at a homeless drop-in, helps to lead a support group for those struggling with addiction, and collects fruit donations from local shops.
“I feel happy when I help others” he said.
Jesus Centres are an initiative of the Jesus Army in various towns and cities in the UK to “offer friendship and help to every kind of person”.
Coventry Jesus Centre has been nationally commended for its bond scheme, which helps the homeless and vulnerably housed to find long-term accommodation.
