Nigel Braiser volunteers in the hub at Pilgrim Hospital and was diagnosed with a form of motor neurone disease in 2013.

After losing his job in 2015 he spent a year and a half looking for work and then turned to volunteering.

Nigel said: “I started working for the voluntary service in November which has completely turned my life around.
