We have been lucky enough to work with many of our placements for a long period of time so we have been able to build good<br />

relationships and work together to continue to benefit individuals and communities in London and New York. This summer has been no<br />

different, and our volunteers have been working with:<br />

London:<br />

Peckham Settlement<br />

Providence Row<br />

St Hilda’s<br />

St Margaret’s House<br />

Bede House<br />

Mosaic Clubhouse<br />

A full time volunteer to a small charity often proves invaluable and we are often told about the great work that the volunteers have been<br />

doing in their placements both from the placements and the people that use their services:<br />

“Having a <strong>Winant</strong><br />

volunteer involved in our<br />

community offered the<br />

opportunity to share<br />

cultures, experiences, and<br />

information in effort to<br />

increase awareness,<br />

knowledge and<br />

understanding of other<br />

cultures in this world.“<br />

Darah Salmaggi – Brooklyn<br />

Community Services<br />

“The luxury of having an<br />

extra set of caring hands<br />

(and legs) during these<br />

two months makes a<br />

world of difference to<br />

those in need of<br />

companionship and<br />

assistance.”<br />

Robin Strashun – Search and<br />

Care<br />

We are looking to expand the programme in 2013 with more<br />

volunteers and more placements! So if you know of any charities<br />

that might benefit from having a volunteer please ask them to get<br />

in touch with us!
