North London Cares tries to make volunteering accessible, fun and flexible for our younger neighbours. You can come along to one club, or loads or do weekly visits or calls with your friendship match.
We know that people have busy lives, juggling various commitments from work, caring responsibilities to socialising so we’ve tried to cut as much bureaucracy and time out of our processes so that you can be part of North London Cares simply and quickly.
Our Social Clubs take place over the phone, over zoom and in person, so you can rock up from the comfort of your sofa or join us in our different locations across Camden and Islington.
If you sign up as a social club volunteer, you can come as often or infrequently as you like. However, we do ask that you only book onto Social Clubs that you can definitely attend as we try to get a good balance of older and younger people along.
There is a little more commitment for Love Your Neighbour volunteers as we ask that volunteers visit or speak to their older neighbours weekly (although we are really flexible as we want to make sure this friendship works for both the older and younger neighbour).
