This morning, Nick completed stage one of his triathlon in aid of South London Cares.
What would you think about when swimming the channel?
Would you hum a song? Or think about your to-do list? Or just count the lengths?
Whatever you would do, Nick wants to hear from you.
Nick is one day into his week long triathlon in aid of South London Cares. In this blog and video, he explains the difference between sharks and jellyfish.
Summer's coming up – and at SLC that means plenty of fun in the sun for the whole season, starting on May 2nd. And whether you're a regular or you've yet to volunteer, we'd love you to be part of it.
This week, our supporter Nick from partners Octopus Investments, is taking on an incredible challenge for South London Cares.
Our Winter Wellbeing project 2014/2015 mobilised young people to help their older neighbours in Southwark and Lambeth stay warm, active, healthy and connected during the most isolating time of the year.
This week our volunteers have hit an impressive 1,000 hours of time as part of the South London Cares family. That's 1,000 hours of laughter, friendship and connections made with our older neighbours in Southwark and Lambeth.
Spring is a time of new beginnings and optimism, but it's important to remember that for some people new beginnings and experiences can be hard to come by. This is why South London Cares volunteers regularly spend some spare time with their older neighbours - and also because it's loads of fun!
Last week our volunteer network responded to help an older neighbour going through a difficult time. It was a reminder how much people care - and how supportive our community networks can be when we reach out!
Our Love Your Neighbour scheme introduces neighbours in South London who wouldn't have the chance to meet organically. For both older and younger people, it's a chance to learn from another perspective, build a new connection and create regular company and companionship with a neighbour. Georgina, 37 is one of our Love Your Neighbour volunteers and she's written about her volunteering experiences so far...
