As part of volunteer week, we held a stall at St Joseph's Hospice .. we had a lot of local people register their interest to join us as volunteers. If you couldn't make it to the event, and are keen to get involved, please contact us on [email protected] or [email protected]
We have completed the first week with the team of CUL volunteers ... it is going great! They have been out and met service users and stakeholders in all three of our London Depots. They are having a fantastic time ... learning about HCT and the great work that we do!
Hackney Community Transport are hosting the UCL Global Citizenship Programme for our second year! This is incredibly exciting ... linking directly with volunteer week, we have eight under-graduate students who are volunteering between the 1st - 10th June, across our London depots - Waltham Forest, Hackney and LaSCoT. They will be meeting service users, partners and stakeholders for feedback, testimonials and case studies. This will really help HCT to continue to develop our services to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the communities that we work in.
Hackney Community Transport held a stall at the Connect Hackney Launch for Ageing Better on Tuesday 17th May. It was a huge success, with referrers and potential volunteers registering with us. We are currently looking for more individuals to start our training programme in mid-June to support Hackney residents to gain the confidence and skills to get out and about on public transport, reducing the risk of social isolation
