"I, along with all of the volunteers from NatWest, had a really enjoyable two days working at St. John's and we're delighted to have been able to help them with their garden work. It's a great opportunity for us to get out, as a team with a change of environment and help make a difference. It's been a pleasure to work on the project and we'd like to thank St John's for having us.”
-Jason Bain, Commercial Banking Director from NatWest
