Community Projects are a great way to help people connect and improve their communities.
We believe that social interaction improves mental and physical health by providing better brain function, lower the risk of depression and can help build a support system based on common commitment and interests.
WELCOME VOLUNTEERS PROJECT
Our Welcome Volunteers Project began in May 2019 as part of the Awards for All Lottery Funding (TNL Community).
The aim of the project is to support migrant communities who reside locally to start volunteering. Volunteers are able to expand their networks and gain work experience; while improving their employability, social and leadership skills.
The benefits of the Welcome Volunteer Project combated and helped reduce the risk of social exclusion and inequalities amongst these communities.
The project was a success with volunteers who gained vital skills including permanent employment.
