When you get introduced and recommended to anther organisation it can only mean there is an opportunity to be shared.
Thanks to Ronald from DWP Hendon who kindly looped us in with Stella at Boost to take part in the Barnet Jobs Fair, held at the Skills Fair in Edgware.
The great news is the presence of volunteering opportunities to showcase the value and wide benefits of volunteering has. Including making real time impact in the community.
So we said to all we are here, Come and See pop up is available to all. We also had Dawit, a SCIV (Sustainable Community Impact Volunteer) who recently joined be part of the pop up stand to add to his event and customer service experience.
Sustainable volunteering has an opportunity for everyone. From picking up local food donations, to onsite event management experience. Catering to the need of the individual whatever their physical, mental and learning abilities.
The event certainly was very busy with back to back interest from attendees. We recognised some faces and it was good to say hello once again.
It was great to interact and answer questions there and then and even go deeper into the impact of sustainable volunteering. Sharing perspectives and learning something new can only lead to getting to the real need of a person and the community as a whole.
A continued thank you to Sainsbury's Dulwich, Elephant & Castle and New Cross Gate for the non perishable, snacks, confectionary, new clothing and gift donations used for display and giveaway too.
The word certainly got out about the flexible and localised sustainable volunteering opportunity that includes a reference with skills for life.
