Interested in Volunteering but not sure where to start? Swing by the Institute of Education to speak to 3 of our partnered Community Organisations about their volunteering opportunities. 

Between 12-3pm, you'll be able to meet and talk to these local charities:

The Kids Network: Change a Little Londoner’s life today

The Kids Network is a community of children and volunteer mentors who connect through fun, curiosity and friendship for positive social change. Every child deserves a happy childhood and positive future. 

Volunteer mentors provide a balance of fun and stability for our Little Londoners, allowing them to explore their identity and express themselves in a safe environment.

38% of London’s children are living in poverty, and 33% say they're unhappy with at least one aspect of their life. Take action to support our Little Londoners – and change your own life for the better.

Come along to chat about mentoring, and the problems children face in London. 

WIILMA

WIILMA's is a grassroots community organisation who aim to build community cohesion & resilience, whilst tackling isolation. 

They do this through innovative community education & awareness projects centred around Music, Arts, Crafts, History, Heritage and Culture. Their aim is to bring creative volunteers and professionals together with participants in the community, who want to connect with their own creative selves

Everyone has a right to high quality arts provision not just those who can afford it. By bringing people from different backgrounds together, they're building a more cohesive society, working to reduce health inequalities and increase better life outcomes for all.

Come along to chat about creative arts, heritage and community.
