Bellyful Wellington South

Wendy Lindsay

Branch Coordinator

I have volunteered with Bellyful since we set up our branch in 2012. I am married to Peter, and have three (nearly) adult children who have all helped with Bellyful over the years. I work as a lawyer, I have recently left private practice to work for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, where I have a varied, challenging and interesting role.

When I started with Bellyful, I had spent many years volunteering at Playcentre and felt keen to do more to give back to my community. I love that at Bellyful we are helping complete strangers who we may never meet in our usual life. Giving food seems like such a simple act but can be really meaningful.

Something unexpected has been how much I have enjoyed meeting all of our volunteers over the years, Bellyful seems to attract the loveliest volunteers.
