Do you have some spare time and wish to meet new people or increase your skill base.

Or you may wish to put something back into your local community and help those in need.

Working with a charity in the re-use network can also help you back into work by improving your skills and providing an up to date work reference. Opportunities include:

• receptionist
• telephonist
• data entry
• driving
• van assistance
• warehouse assistance
• electrical engineering

Wherever you live in London there will be a re-use charity near you that needs your help. If you are interested in finding out more about volunteering and training opportunities contact your local project for current vacancies.

Projects will cover your travel expenses, and if you are claiming benefits these will not be affected, so you will not be out of pocket.

Everyone is welcome as these charities recruit both men and women from all cultural groups and all abilities.
