Charlotte said, "The most rewarding thing for me, is knowing that I have helped someone else and had an opportunity to work hard at something and achieve my goal. People will forget what you said, they may forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. It is important to do a job with your heart as well as your head."

 

Charlotte continues to perform her voluntary work both overseas and in Birchwood where she is often seen helping others along with her sponsoring Club, Birchwood Lions.
