Loving our Neighbours - Team Member
NO SET TIMES
Loving our Neighbours is a group of volunteers providing practical support to people in the community – Practical Support | The Branch
We have a large team of community volunteers, who are all connected in a Whatsapp group ‘Loving our Neighbours’. When we get requests for practical help, out in the community (eg emergency food shops, prescription collections, garden/house cleans, clothes/furniture deliveries), we pop it in the whatsapp group, and if you can help, you reply, and if you can’t, you just ignore it.
Each of our volunteers is highly valued and appreciated. We understand that The Branch could not have the same community impact, without the time, love and energy of each volunteer.
Volunteers get assigned a mentor/supervisor to support, help and train where necessary. We have many experiences of individuals growing in confidence and skills and then managing to get full time employment elsewhere. We have also seen volunteers help shape the work of The Branch with the skills, ideas, gifts, inspiration & talents they bring.
