We are looking for English, French or Italian speakers to become Telephone Befrienders for @ConnectNewham. You would need to give three months commitment and 30 minutes a week. @MelanieJBerard buff.ly/2ScmYJz #renewalprogramme #volunteer #connectnewham #newham

If, like us, you might be wondering how to support those living in Ukraine, who have been forced out of their homes due to escalating fighting, our Immigration Advisor has asked us to share this UNHRC’s link: buff.ly/36ZqTAp #ukraine #support #charity #immigration

Did you know we have a Featured Opportunities board on our website that we update regularly? 🤔 Right now the @TheNGAlliance are looking for community gardeners, and @HackneyFoodbank need someone with a clean license to drive their Luton van! See here: vchackney.org/volunteer/
