It’s #VolunteersWeek! 🌟 A huge thank you to every volunteer who gives their time and compassion to #TheConnection. You make everything possible. 💛 #ThankYou #EndHomelessness
A huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who bring warmth, compassion and hope to #TheConnection every week. 💙 Every meal served, every listening ear, every welcoming smile makes a real difference to people experiencing homelessness. We couldn't do it without you. 🙏
627 corporate volunteers gave their time at our day centre last year, and every single one made a difference. 🙌 Thank you — from everyone at The Connection. #volunteersweek
If you are free to volunteer with the Kitchen team at The Connection between 8.30am and 1.30pm, specifically on Friday 13 March, but also throughout the year, please email [email protected]. Your time supports those experiencing homelessness.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of John Pudney. John led the SCU, purchasing St Martin’s House, where he lived alongside clients. This extraordinary commitment shaped the values that still guide our work today. We remember his grounded, compassionate approach to his work.
