Trumpeting volunteers

The words ‘meaningful occupation’ have been used and abused in official documents and journals but it is rare that anyone ever says what they mean. We are not going to attempt a definition ‐ far better to illustrate in narrative form the kinds of relationships that give meaning to work and to life. Following the theme of other articles in this edition of the journal, Trevor Munday gives a first‐hand account of why what he does is meaningful to him and the other people in his life.
