Although the brighter evenings and sprouting daffodils are a welcome sight for most of us, sunshine and flowers don’t have quite the same appeal if you don’t have many people around to enjoy them with. So why not help your older neighbours to feel full of the joys of spring by joining them at one of our social clubs this March?
You could give Joe and Betty the key to new social connections by helping them to tackle touch screens and texting at our tech workshop in Herne Hill, get your sham-rock on at our St Patrick’s Day party with Bill in Brixton, or even learn swing steps with Shirley at our spring dance in West Norwood.
If you're finding it hard to fit volunteering into your week, not to worry: at SLC this month is also all about cake. Between Monday 27th March – Sunday 2nd April, we would love as many of you as possible to grab your spoons, spatulas and scales and hold a bake sale in aid of South London Cares. You can find out more about Cares’ Cake Week and pledge your support here.
To sign up to any of the March Social Clubs (dates below), just email [email protected] to volunteer.
