AGE UK Bradford District's longest-serving volunteer has told of her love for her role.

Shazia Amin joined Age UK Bradford District in 2003 after moving to the area. 

Following the loss of her father-in-law, she moved out of a multi-generational family home with her husband and children.

With her youngest child starting school and her husband working long hours, Shazia found herself with more free time and looking for a meaningful way to serve her community. 

Finding herself bored at home, Shazia discovered the Age UK Bradford District hub - then known as Age Concern - within walking distance from her home.

The hub quickly became her extended family, providing her with a sense of community and purpose. 

Shazia said: "I love working here because all the people are so lovely and amazing, and I want to give something back to my community.

"I'm here nearly every day after work." 

Colin Williams, community activities assistant at Age UK Bradford District, said: "Shazia is the most amazing volunteer.

"She has volunteered with us throughout the times her two sons have been treated for cancer and always has time for everyone."

He also thanked all the other volunteers at the branch.
