Community-led social action initiatives have been key to providing essential support and mutual resource to residents and neighbours across Hackney through the last 8 months, providing a vital role in the COVID social response. Residents have shown their commitment to providing neighbourly assistance and to utilising their skills and experience to support others. This may have been through established community groups, or new initiatives, but all focused on providing creative solutions to local needs.

We, at Volunteer Centre Hackney, have been providing support and guidance to many of these initiatives, and want to help these projects grow. We are committed to supporting local people to recognise their skills, ideas, and their experience and how they can use these to help others. Over the years, we have supported residents to host their own neighbourhood walking groups, a guerrilla gardening club, community meals, street parties, online wellbeing workshops, and an after-school club. We have linked residents to community organisations such as local youth clubs, to deliver coding workshops, or a theatre club or most recently, a digital buddy project.

We are working on estates and with GP surgeries, to engage local residents to come together to volunteer, to share their skills, to develop new project ideas and to build strong long communities. You will need to be passionate about working with local people, able to work independently and on your own initiative and resilient and confident to keep breaking through barriers, and making things happen.

You will be joining a nationally recognised award winning project, with funding from the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and The National Lottery Community Fund as well as from City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group. 

City & Hackney Carers seek a tech savvy, people friendly individual to lead our digital inclusion project.
