Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Have some time at weekends - would like to volunteer locally, any suggestions?

I have seen some volunteering opportunities but they all seem to be needing help at weekdays and as I work full time, this would not be possible.

There was Coffee and Computers posting here for volunteers to help older people with computer skills which would be great as my background is IT Training but again that was weekdays.

I would be interested in befriending older people and visiting them in their homes (I have a valid SC clearance) or getting involved in some green projects maybe?

Contacted Age Concern some time ago but never heard back.

I am afraid I am not interested in volunteering with children/teenagers and leaflets/money collections etc are not really my thing but apart from this - open to ideas.

Thanks a lot

I had a great time for volunteering at Kenwood House for a couple of years until I had to give up because of other commitments. Really good variety of things you can do and you work the hours that suit you.

This organisation might be good for you. I don't know anything about them but it seems to fit with what you are asking for https://northlondoncares.org.uk/home
