About This Cause
Our mission is to inspire volunteering in innovative and flexible ways for busy Londoners who are unable to give their time on a regular basis. Through our partnerships with local non-profit organisations, we are able to help people give their time as and when they can in a way that is fun and has real impact in the local community. Individuals can register with us and can access our online calendar for opportunities. These are diverse and range from a couple of hours to a whole day. We work in partnership with many London organisations so there are opportunities to give time to a wide range of causes from charitable theatres to soup kitchens, projects with children, adults with learning disabilities, elderly support groups, art and craft groups and a range of environmental projects through our summer Brighten Up London campaign. During November of each year, Hands On London runs its annual coat collection campaign, Wrap Up London. During this period, over 1000 volunteers come together to promote the campaign, collect coats from underground tube stations, offices, shops and churches and distribute them through our partner organisations to those in need during the winter months. Since the start of the campaign in 2010 we have collected and distributed almost 200,000 warm coats. In line with our ethos, this campaign is almost entirely run by volunteers giving their time in a flexible way. An important part of Hands On London’s work is the support of corporate groups wishing to give their time in a meaningful way that has real impact. Through our charitable partnerships, we are able to assist with project managed opportunities that add value to the work of these causes. This may be the giving of time, pro-bono support, gifts in kind, or helping form longer term relationships with a local charity.
