Keeley Frazer-Wise – Volunteer Rep
I am Keeley Frazer-Wise and I have been a volunteer with Square Pegs since 2020. In 2024 I became the volunteer rep alongside James.
I have always loved giving back to my community and so when the opportunity to volunteer with Square Pegs came along I thought I’d give it a try. I didn’t really know what it would involve having had zero experience with drama. I haven’t looked back since and love every minute of it.
For me there have been so many ‘highlights’ but I’ll choose this years performance with Maidstone’s Drama group. Playing the cheeky mouse during the ‘Mouse-busters’ song was a lot of fun.
When I’m not at pegs, you’ll find me on the golf course.
