 Help Needed With Deliveries at Brixton Food Hub
Healthy Living Platform is a Charity offering activities that benefit the health and well-being of the community.
To help families during COVID-19, Healthy Living Platform set up an emergency food hub inside Brixton Rec which arranges for surplus food to be distributed to local community centres. This important work is still ongoing!
Volunteers are needed to help inside the hub, packing and moving crates of food and unloading/loading delivery vans.
There are short morning and afternoon shifts available - three hours in the morning, two in the afternoon.
Why not sign-up for a couple?
In addition to the scheduled shifts, the Food Hub Manager, Mala, is looking for flexible volunteers to help with the logistics of meeting deliveries as they arrive and helping unload - if you are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays between 11am to 3pm, please contact Mala to arrange time slots in advance on 07932 918 026.

 Family Volunteers - Do you have parenting or childcare experience and skills?
Home-Start Lambeth volunteers provide support, friendship and practical help to families with at least one child under five who are experiencing difficulties. They’re reaching out for volunteers who can give about an hour per week for 6 months minimum (times can be flexible to suit both you and the family you are supporting). Volunteers will:
- Offer support tailored to the needs of the families over the phone, via Zoomor via socially distanced meet-ups.
- Build a supportive relationship with the family in which the challenges of family life can be discussed, positive strategies encouraged, and also encourage parents’ strengths and emotional well-being so they can best support their children.
- Encourage families to widen their network of relationships and to use the support and services available in the community effectively.
You’ll need to be able to be reliable, a good listener, and maintain confidentiality while recognising that there may be situations when disclosure is essential to the welfare of a child. Training will be provided online.
Your own experiences and skills can help another family more than you could imagine. Home Start Lambeth would love to hear from you.
