Emily Dodd - Inspiring Volunteer

Some weeks ago Greener Leith nominated Emily Dodd for an Inspiring Volunteer Award, as she has helped a great deal with the Greener Leith website, producing podcasts and blog posts regularly, as you will know if you subscribe to our weekly mail. We were delighted to learn that Emily was awarded an Inspiring Volunteer Award.

The Volunteer Centre made a series of video clips at the awards ceremony to celebrate volunteer week and released a video every day of the week. This interview with Emily was amongst them:

Since gaining her award, Emily has been featured in the Edinburgh Reporter, and learnt that she is to have her first book published. So congratulations to Emily.

We should add that you don't need to be a published writer to write for Greener Leith. So, if you would like to contribute to the Greener Leith blog, please get in touch.
