Meet the team: Jacqueline van Grootel

 

In our Meet the team series, we profile our Short Back & Sidewalks volunteers and talk to them about their experiences volunteering with us.

Hi all!!

I’m Jacqui, I’ve been volunteering for around 4 years with SBSW. I work as a photographer, shooting weddings, portraiture, food & beverage, and products, and it’s so great to be able to use my trade to show off the work that you all do

It’s been an honor to document so many events, meeting volunteers and clients, and getting to know brilliant social workers and service providers that help so many in our city. My favourite moments are when clients’ new looks are revealed, and they see a side of themselves they may not have seen for a while.

I adore the relaxed community atmosphere at events, with each different service provider welcoming a unique set of familiar faces. I have buoyed growing relationships with special clients over the years.

See you at an event soon!
