1. So Peter what drew you to Camp Quality, and what do
you love most about it?
At the time I joined, Camp Quality was an organisation
which provided great services to kids and families in need (that's
what I love) and it needed some help to continue to do that (that's
what drew me).
2. What have you learnt most about yourself from your
involvement?
Probably that I'm ageing (gracefully) faster than I thought. My
first camping experience taught me that I could not keep up with
the energy and enthusiasm of our kids and their companions.
3. What signature strengths do you bring to
CQ?
Self-praise is no recommendation but apart from legal skills, I
suppose, an analytical mind, a good sense of what's right and fair
and a desire and willingness to help.
4. What's a CQ moment you treasure?
The puppet performance at Pam Law's farewell.
5. What do you love to laugh about?
I love the laughter that comes from the relationship between
friends and family. It can be about anything, but it means
happiness.
6. What are you optimistic about?
The future for Camp Quality, in particular, reaching out to those
other children living with cancer because it exists elsewhere in
their family.
7. What would you say to someone considering joining the
'CQ family'?
Welcome, we need you to help us bring hope and happiness
to children living with cancer and their families.
