Celebrating Volunteering in Buckinghamshire
Volunteering is more than just an act of service—it is a force for change, a bridge between communities, and a source of personal growth. Pippa is deeply committed to recognising and celebrating the power of volunteering. She believes that everyone, regardless of background or experience, has something valuable to offer. Whether it’s supporting charities, mentoring young people, or helping to shape the justice sector, volunteering strengthens our communities and transforms lives.
As part of her mission, Pippa is collaborating with Christopher James Hall, founder of Narrator’s Lens CIC, to bring the stories of volunteers to life. Christopher’s photography is more than just an art form—it is a tool for storytelling, a means to amplify voices, and a way to capture the resilience, dedication, and impact of those who give their time to help others.
Having personally experienced homelessness, Christopher understands the power of being heard and seen. His work has been pivotal in shining a light on social challenges, from mental health to social exclusion, and now he is turning his lens to Buckinghamshire’s volunteers. Through the High Sheriff’s Volunteering Photography and Stories Project, he will document and share the journeys of those who dedicate themselves to making a difference, ensuring their contributions are recognized and appreciated.
Together, Pippa and Christopher hope to inspire others to step forward, get involved, and discover the true essence of volunteering—an experience that is as rewarding for the volunteer as it is for those they support.
Join them in celebrating the spirit of service and uncovering the powerful stories of Buckinghamshire’s volunteers.
