OUR VISION
We believe that everyone gains when we work together: organisations grow stronger, services become more responsive and people find their power. Our vision is of Newham as a place where people, organisations and services all collaborate to build fairer and stronger communities.
VCFS Infrastructure Support
We are delighted to announce that One Newham, in partnership with Aston-Mansfield, has successfully won the LBN tender for the Voluntary, Community, and Faith Sector (VCFS) Infrastructure Support Programme. This initiative is a major milestone in strengthening support for Global Majority/Ethnically Diverse VCFS organisations in Newham, with the goal of building capacity, fostering growth, and ensuring long-term sustainability for the sector.
IN NEWHAM
VOLUNTEER
I WANT TO
Volunteering is about giving your time and skills, unpaid, for the benefit of others or your wider community. It’s a really rewarding activity that can help you get involved in your local community, meet new people, develop your confidence and skills, and have fun!
To find a volunteer role that’s suitable for you, there are various places you can look:
-
Do-it.org advertises a wide range of volunteer opportunities - you can search by postcode her
-
Newham Volunteering can link you up with a range of volunteer opportunities locally here
-
If you are looking for some volunteering that uses your professional skills, or perhaps a Trustee role search for your ideal role at Reach Volunteering here
-
You could find a local organisation you might like to volunteer with – many advertise volunteer vacancies on their websites or you can give them a call. Check out our Membership Directory here for a list of local organisations.
It might take a couple of tries before you find a volunteering role that’s right for you. Please be
patient if the organisation takes a while to get back to you – many organisations are really stretched
and struggle to answer every enquiry on time. Just given them a friendly reminder that you are still
interested in volunteering with them.
Good luck, and thank you for thinking of giving back to our wonderful community in Newham.
