Thank You Volunteers!

For Volunteers Week 2020, we spent last week thanking our 150 amazing volunteers for all the time and effort they put into supporting our work. Our volunteers are integral to everything we do, including our befrienders and learning volunteers, our board members and those who fundraise for us!

'Our volunteers are an amazing cohort of talent and we’re so fortunate to have them alongside us' - Sarah Burton

'We're especially grateful for your ongoing support during lockdown. Not only has it helped us keep the show on the road but we've actually been reaching more people!' - Emma Whitelock

Supporting Others to Be Safe Online During Coronavirus

We are hosting classes on Zoom over the next few months to help people to use the internet confidently and safely during COVID-19. Everyone is welcome to attend.

During this unprecedented time, with many people being asked to stay inside and practice self isolation, you may have family, friends or the people you work with asking you more questions about using their phones, tablets and laptops. Not everyone is confident going online and many people worry about being safe, especially those more vulnerable members of society and people with learning impairments and low literacy levels.

In these webinars, we’ll cover ways you can help support others to be safe online during the Coronavirus and answer any questions you might have.
