It's Volunteers' Week and time to celebrate New Hope's amazing volunteers!
New Hope volunteers help throughout New Hope, including Beth, one of six new befrienders at the Recovery Service.
We have drivers, helping to keep our food bills, collecting donations from supermarkets and a local egg farm, chaplains, there to listen and provide emotional support, Cultivate volunteers, helping with mental health and wellbeing as well as practical garden-based projects, shop volunteers, bringing in much-need income and being a friendly community presence, kitchen volunteers, cooking healthy and tasty meals, Watford Winter Shelter volunteers, ensuring this vital service is friendly and welcoming, and street outreach volunteers, strengthening our presence on the streets and parks. Not forgetting, of course, our volunteers who help with fundraising, sorting donations at the Haven, and helping people move into their own homes! New Hope also has a team of trustees, who are involved with strategy, finance and governance.
Volunteers are essential to New Hope and we are so grateful to everyone who gives up their time to help!
We are currently recruiting for more people:
-
to help in the kitchen at the Sanctuary - cooking the evening meal
-
supporting people's wellbeing with Cultivate
-
to carry out street outreach, alongside our staff
-
help in our Croxley Green shop
