Covid Chronicles: 'We need to feel listened to and loved'

Lee Daly volunteers at Childline every week and has done for the last four years.

I am a software developer, and that's maybe not the career that people might associate with volunteering. I've been volunteering with Childline for four years. 

I'm with the Limerick unit and that means spending four hours a week - sometimes more if I am training somebody new - talking to young people. I say talking, but really what I mean is listening to young people, because that's what I do, more than anything else.
