✨VOLUNTEER SHOUTOUT ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Name: Ellie @elorelei⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Started: June 2020⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why do you volunteer?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I joined WIT to help out in the local community at a time when we were otherwise forced to be distant from one another. Being a regular friendly face to others when delivering food, feels like a small but valuable contribution. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What keeps you coming back to WIT?⠀⠀ I love that WIT is run by women who really understand what the local community needs. This includes supporting families and individuals in many ways outside of just the food bank and food deliveries. It’s also nice to have gradually developed a rapport with the people we regularly deliver to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why should people volunteer with WIT?⠀⠀ It’s a great way to engage with people in the community and help make a difference. It’s also an opportunity to take time out of your day to focus on something that is for the benefit of others.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womensinclusiveteam #teamwit⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #volunteer #volunterring #volunteerappreciation #volunteeropportunity #volunteerswanted #volunterringmatters #community #fundraising #support #help #giveback #helpeachother #givingback #philanthropy #givingbacktothecommunity #giving #charitywork

✨VOLUNTEER SHOUTOUT ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Name: Silke⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Started: December 2020⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why do you volunteer?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am an “Actions speak louder than words” kind of person and W.I.T gave me the chance to become a valuable member of my community. I wanted to feel connected to others and give something back. It also helped me develop a sense of belonging and reduced feelings of isolation and loneliness during the pandemic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What keeps you coming back to WIT? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The friendly and welcoming environment at the community kitchen made it extremely easy for me to integrate myself into the team. I feel the positive impact that my time and actions make a difference to the people who benefit from WIT. I like that I can self-schedule my commitments within the community kitchen and food bank's roles. By doing deliveries by bike, I benefit from the cultural exchange, but I am also getting to know my neighbourhood's hidden treasures. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a single mother's daughter who raised three kids on her own, I also like that I am involved in an organisation that supports and empowers women to become independent and socially included. Furthermore, the positive experience I made at WIT encouraged me to take on other volunteer jobs with other charities and the NHS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why should people volunteer with WIT? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every opportunity you take to volunteer will support others well being in the community. The work of WIT makes me realise that no matter how small the act of kindness you offer is, we all make a significant impact on the community, and that’s what counts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womensinclusiveteam #teamwit⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #volunteer #volunteerappreciation #volunteeropportunity #volunteerswanted #volunterringmatters #community #fundraising #support #help #giveback #helpeachother #givingback #philanthropy #givingbacktothecommunity #giving #charitywork

✨VOLUNTEER SHOUTOUT ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Name: Dai⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Started: November 2020⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why do you volunteer?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I joined WIT to help those who are experiencing very tough times in my community both during the pandemic and far into the future. Being out on my bike in all weathers, delivering hot food directly to those who need it, has been incredibly rewarding and a sobering reminder that we all need to be doing more to help our neighbours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What keeps you coming back to WIT?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A well organised rota system, very supportive staff and being part of a group providing support to hundreds of vulnerable people in Tower Hamlets.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why should people volunteer with WIT?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WIT make an important impact on the lives of people who really need it.

At a time when so many young people have missed ou At a time when so many young people have missed out on key education time, mentoring can be invaluable. This is something we have been able to offer children in Tower Hamlets as part of our Rise and Shine project. Coach Osman and Ms Mohamed have put together a 6 week mentoring programme. Each week will have a different focus or activity, to build confidence, engagement, identify and tackle any challenges to motivation, learning and behaviour. The children will be able to build social skills, as well as grow independently, through his scheme of work. 💜🖊💻 @barnardos_uk @dcmsgovuk @towerutdfc_youth
