Volunteering at OWL

Do you fancy getting out and meeting people?

Do you have some time to spare?

Even 2 hours a week could help make a difference!

Here are a few of the ways you could help

  • Helping students in the OWL Café
  • Delivering hot meals to the elderly – Meals-2-You
  • Driving the van to collect unwanted bicycles
  • Building bicycles – training given!
  • Helping the students with their gardening at Sawston Village College
  • Helping students learn to weave, do woodwork, recycling, use the computers, go to the gym, etc…
    •                                                               

You don’t need any qualifications, only time, patience and a good sense of humour.

“I volunteer to deliver Meals-2-You to older folk in this community who cannot cook for themselves.  It allows them to stay in their own home which is important for their well being.” Sheila Blackwell
