Volunteering

Would you like to volunteer in Thamesmead to help others and yourself? Our volunteers often talk about gaining confidence and fulfilment from helping others within their community. When you become a volunteer, you also have the opportunity to meet new people, gain new skills, and broaden your horizons.

In the past ten years, our number of volunteers has increased from 80 to at least 1000. The majority of our volunteers say the reason they actively engage in their community is that they want to give something back.
