This past weekend I have worked at two charitable events in New England within my internship role at Stop & Shop this summer. On Saturday morning, we volunteered at the Run to Home Base charity run, that starts and ends at Fenway Park, the oldest ball park in America. It was wonderful to see such a big turnout to support the cause from across New England to both run and volunteer. On Friday, we volunteered at the Amos House Block Party, held to support the increasing population of those living in poverty in Providence, Rhode Island. Amos House is a Rhode Island nonprofit working tirelessly against the increasing numbers of hunger and homelessness across the state. Stop & Shop’s Community truck facilitated the donation of refreshments and food to take home for everyone at the event. It was a privilege to play a small part of their constant mission to make a difference. Thank you to everyone at Amos House for organising the event! These opportunities wouldn’t be possible for me without the Saltire Scholars Programme and Entrepreneurial Scotland , to which I am incredibly grateful! Thanks as well to my manager and mentor Sarah Williams who has gone above and beyond in making sure I’ve been a part of all of the inspiring community and charity events that Stop & Shop holds and attends.

Sitting at my desk on a Monday morning, I am realising that my People Internship with Verlume is over halfway completed, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Between creating spreadsheets of crucial information about the business, giving presentations at our Employee Voice Group, reviewing the company's HR policies, or implementing a new HR system, I have learned so much, and the support and guidance I have received have been invaluable. Thank you to the Saltire Scholars Programme for this incredible opportunity, and thank you to all the staff at Verlume, particularly Gillian Thomson for continually supporting me in this position. I look forward to the next half of my internship, and to the company's exciting future!
