Happy Thursday! This week we have volunteering opportunities from Brixton and Norwood Foodbank, and Age UK.
Below we have Alexander, who is assisting Walter with his food shopping via OnHand. Well done!
Brixton and Norwood Foodbank
Faced with a rise in demand, local foodbanks require assistance with collections of food from supermarkets and other collection points.
They are looking for volunteers to assist with two tasks:
- Delivery volunteers- volunteers who can pick up assist with transporting donations by van, car or cargo bike;
- Python and JavaScript developer volunteer- volunteers who can support them with improving the technical side of the foodbank’s operations.
To volunteer, please apply here.
Age UK
Age UK Lambeth is an independent local charity working in Lambeth to offer support and services to older people.
This year has been tough for everyone, which has led to most of us experiencing isolation and separation ourselves. For some elderly members of the community this is their everyday life! This year they want to spread a little cheer for those who will be spending Christmas alone. And they would like your help! After all, wouldn’t it be amazing ending the year helping others?
They are looking for volunteers to simply cook an extra meal for Christmas this year and deliver it to someone in your community that will be completely on their own for Christmas day! Whatever you’re cooking on the day, whether it be Turkey with all the trimmings or another meal, why not cook a little extra and pop a meal into someone who is on their own. They will match you with someone local (walking distance) and they will supply a seasonal bag of goodies for them and drop off to you in advance.
To volunteer with Age UK and help with their Christmas meal initiative, please sign up here.
Thank you for your continued support and have a lovely end of the week.
