Local volunteering

This page will keep you informed about local volunteering opportunities. Supporting our volunteers is very important to us; we run volunteer induction days and each volunteer is supported by a named member of staff. 


Long term support group opportunities

We need volunteers who can help run activities for members at our Croydon (alternate Tuesday mornings) and our Greenwich group (alternate Wednesday mornings).  If you would like to join in the fun, make new friends and help stroke survivors at these groups please call Ellen on  0207 940 1341.

Fundraising Volunteers are needed to provide support at events throughout the year. If you have time to 'meet and greet' participants,  be an enthusiastic 'cheerer' or a steward at any of our events we would be pleased to hear from you. You can find out more about what fundraising events we are running in London from Katie Hammond on 020 7940 1342.
