As we pass 1000 hours of volunteer time at Lancaster West so far this year, we are thrilled to announce the official launch of LancWest Connects!
What is LancWest Connects?LancWest Connects enables positive connections
within the community and the environment around us. This volunteer scheme provides opportunities for
anyone to offer their skills, time and support to the
surrounding community. Benefits of volunteering can include:
improved health
and wellbeing,
increased confidence,
building
community connections,
team building,
and also
learning new skills for anyone involved!
Plus, it’s a
great opportunity to contribute, connect and support
Lancaster West and our wider community. From
transforming and maintaining green spaces on the
estate, helping with community events, and offering
digital support to residents, there’s a variety of ways to
get involved. This year so far, we have had a total of 53 regular
volunteers, and 46 corporate volunteers, all possible
through the partners that we regularly work with! LancWest Connects has a greater impact too. We offer
training opportunities and pathways into employment,
and have supported 3 resident volunteers into
employment since August 2023! Find out more about getting involved as an individual,
partnering with us, or bringing a volunteer group to the
estate, by contacting Alana.Mann@rbkc.gov.uk or
coming into Baseline Business Studios!
