What our people think about working at HOME

Umar - Glasgow

What do you like the most about working with HOME?

The feeling of having to talk to people and listening to them on a regular basis, as well as the profound joy when someone signs up to support a campaign. It shows people are kind hearted, supportive and really want to help others.

What are the challenges you face in your role?

Well, I’d say the usual challenge is people’s rejections when I’m talking. Most of the time you see the positivity in people’s reaction but there can be something holding them back – so you try to inspire them to see the good side and the need that’s the most challenging.
