North London Cares has guidelines on who our volunteers can and can't support. Volunteers are not clinical staff – rather, they are north Londoners who'd like to help people feel more connected. We say that our model, and our amazing volunteers, do not make life liveable (feeding, clothing or washing people); rather they make life worth living with new opportunities, friendship and horizons. We do take referrals from statutory and healthcare services – such as housing departments, GP social prescriptions, and occasionally mental and social care providers – but please be aware that we may need to make our own assessments on whether neighbours can realistically benefit from our activities.
