The Feel Good Community CIC
Volunteer Delivery Driver
Deliver care packages to your neighbours as a volunteer delivery driver. They’re looking for people on Fridays and it doesn’t matter whether you have a car, a motorbike, or just a regular bike!
National Food Service
Cooks, Delivery Drivers, and Telephone Support
The National Food Service’s North London branch are looking for volunteers to help deliver 800+ meals a week to people in need across the borough. Their roles are very flexible and take place on weekdays and weekends, so no excuses!
Volunteer Centre Hackney
Community Supporters
If you have just 1 or 2 hours to spare, make a difference visiting a Hackney resident who is isolated and in need of some company – for a chat, or a walk in the park. We’re particularly interested in hearing from people who speak community languages such as Polish, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, or Italian.
SWIM
Befriending Volunteers
Working with Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), volunteers are urgently needed to carry out ‘check-in and chat’ telephone calls either on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis with people serving community sentences. A quick chat once a week could make all the difference!
