Reach London Project
London Communities Project is an exciting new pan-London project providing extra support to small local community groups and / or black and minority ethic groups and to the volunteers who are interested in helping them.
We work closely with organisations to help them create volunteering roles which are both useful to the organisation and attractive to volunteers. We also build relationships with volunteers who are willing to support these groups to ensure that we find interesting and worthwhile roles for them. Please contact Janet or Heena at london.communities@reach-online.org.uk Tel: 020 7840 5681 or click here to find out more.
Reach currently offers a wide variety of interesting volunteering opportunities throughout Greater London. These include one-off projects and regular commitments, some involving office hours and others involving time in the evenings or at weekends. We will match volunteers to the organisations that need their skills.
Contact your nearest regional manager, (see above) who will be delighted to talk to you about finding the right volunteering role in the region and help you give some time to a worthwhile cause, not too far from where you live.
