Did you know that volunteering is good for you? Studies show that volunteering can improve and maintain your mental and physical health, and well as helping with the effects of stress, anxiety and low self esteem. And the social contact of helping and working with others can have a profound effect on your overall psychological wellbeing. Good times!
So drop by, and say hello on Wednesday 29th January, 12-2.30pm in the heart of Islington at Islington Assembly Hall, Upper Street, N1 2UD.
We are once again joining forces with our good friends @ Volunteer Centre Islington to bring you this fair. Nice one!
As always, there’s no need to book. Just pop in.
*** However, if you are a non-profit that wants to recruit volunteers in Camden or Islington at the fair, then book your free place via eventbrite.
>> We are particularly looking to offer micro-volunteering opportunities at this fair.Do you have anything that attendees could drop in and do in less than two hours? If so email us to let us know.
We look forward to seeing you there. 🙂

Want to volunteer in Camden?
Come and see us at our office in Kentish Town on Wednesday 5th February between 10am and 12pm. We will be on hand to help you do a search for volunteering in Camden (and a bit beyond), as well as answer any questions you may have about volunteering.
Please note: Our drop-ins are for people who need extra support to get started with their volunteering. People who get the most out of drop-ins:
- need extra support to use a computer
- are not sure what they would like to do as a volunteer – and would like to talk about the options available before they apply
- are unable to access the internet elsewhere
There is no need to book. Just drop in! 🙂
Volunteer Centre Camden is at 2 Grafton Yard, London, NW5 2ND. Check out this link to a map of where we are with directions on how to get here.
Please note: If you have access to the internet, are comfortable using computers and you know what you want to do as a volunteer then you can do an online search now via Simply Connect – and there is no need to come to the drop-in.
Join us at our February 2020 volunteer managers’ forum where we will discuss all things volunteer management. The topics will be varied, and can be anything related to managing volunteers – and will be decided by you on the day. And this event is open to volunteer managers everywhere.
For this forum, we will:
- Ask you to think about some real life examples in your organisation and bring them with you so we can help you identify what to do next
- Look at some of the underlying causes of difficulties, and consider strategies to prevent them
You will also meet (and network with) other volunteer managers in Camden and beyond – and refreshments are included. Fantastic!
Book your place via Eventbrite.
>>> Please bring your business cards if you have them, for the networking sessions
>> We have a few free places available for Camden non-profits which have no paid staff and are unfunded. Get in touch with Shafia by email if this applies to your organisation.
> We will provide light refreshments. However, if you have any special dietary requirements please come prepared personally.
We look forward to seeing you on the day! 🙂
