Robert McNair
Robert is a volunteer in the Newton Mearns kids store in Scotland, starting from the day he turned 14. When he first started as a volunteer, he was shy, but it did not take him long to come out of his shell and he soon took over running the entertainment section. He is an excellent team player and is extremely motivated to do the best he can for Barnardo’s. Robert is using his volunteering time towards achieving his Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award and his role has also helped him improve his organisational skills. When lockdown came into place, Robert was determined to remain focussed and continue his dedication to Barnardo’s while the shop was closed. He organised a fundraising event at his school, running the equivalent of a marathon on a treadmill and raised over £2,000.
