Siân Gonnella -Lead Volunteer
Hello, I started volunteering in February 2026. I supporting Reading Welfare Right with administrative tasks including funding bids and research projects. I’ve also supported staff with attending home visits, where we talk to the client face to face in the comfort of their own homes!
I used to work for a homelessness prevention charity, supporting members of the Reading community. During my work, I would refer many clients to Reading Welfare Rights, as many facing clients I would support also needed specialist benefit advice.
I am a careers adviser and love to work with clients to empower them to reach their full potential and find meaningful opportunities to volunteer or return to employment.
