She said: ‘The voluntary sector is so vibrant in Fareham. I know about these organisations, but even for me, it’s great to see them all in one place.’ She said that, in such a busy world, volunteering was more popular than ever.

Julia added: ‘These days you find people who only have an hour or two to spare, but they can do something amazing with it.’
