Volunteers' Week 2018

It was fantastic to see employees giving back to local communities, lending a helping hand by spending time with the elderly, supporting emerging talent and providing refuge and warmth for the homeless and people in need.

Take a look below to find out more about their experiences:

Rubens House – Geoff, Brian, Emma, David, Claire, Eren, Djemal, Mayuri, Sara, Joanne, Lucian, Daniel, Ian and Syeka

Rubens House is a Jewish care home for the elderly and patients with dementia. A team of Careys employees spent the day tidying up the garden, planting flowers, having a sing-song and socialising with the residents.

Arts for All – Anne

Arts for All is a community centre who run creative clubs for adults and children who face disadvantages such as unemployment, poverty, families challenges and disability. Anne helped with the adult group who listened to music whilst working on their art projects.

Acton Homeless Concern – Ana, Louise and Kathelijne

Acton Homeless Concern provide support for those who are homeless or inadequately housed. Through the charity, vulnerable people have a safe place to rest where they can find food, clothing, counselling and friendship. On the day, the team helped to prepare and serve meals for over 140 guests.
