Local Volunteer Schemes
We actively encourage members of staff to become involved in activities to help support people in our local community.
This is more than just giving our time. It also involves sharing our energy, knowledge, expertise and our passion with others. By becoming involved in long-term projects, Winckworth Sherwood is building valuable relationships with the wider community that are mutually beneficial and help to add a sense of purpose and perspective to what we do.
Volunteer Primary Learning Partners
We have been involved in Southwark Council’s Primary Learning Partners Scheme and are looking to re-establish this. The scheme is one whereby members of staff visit local schools several times a month providing support for individual pupils who need extra assistance with their literacy, on a one-to-one basis. Southwark is one of the more deprived areas of London and includes children of families whose first language is not English. Our volunteers feel they are making a real difference to the children by helping to build relationships with people outside their family and school groups, developing their confidence and unlocking talents.
Food for All
Food for All is a registered charity which distributes in the region of 600 meals every day to homeless people on the streets of London. Every Friday lunch time, volunteers from Winckworth Sherwood help with the lunchtime soup runs in King’s Cross and Camden, to provide nourishment to those who live on the streets.
