This is your August newsletter update from Catching Lives. This month we want to highlight that we are urgently seeking extra volunteers to help in our kitchen. Our kitchen is run entirely by an amazing team of volunteers and provides breakfast and lunch to people experiencing homelessness seven days a week, 365 days a year.
People who volunteer for us do so for all different reasons – from meeting new people and a sense of purpose, to work experience and giving something back. Everyone is welcome here. Volunteers are at the heart of Catching Lives and help keep our vital services running.
If you’re able to spare a few hours a week and are interested in this varied and rewarding role, please get in touch.
To find out more, please email volunteer@catchinglives.org.
