Could you be a Local Hero?
The Local Heroes are a team of volunteers from the Medway community. Every week The Local Heroes heed the call of a local business, charity, or community organisation to lend a helping hand, fix, maintain, build or create.
Paining school fences and building walls, packing food parcels for the local food bank, landscaping and maintaining green areas. The local heroes have guidance from professionals to get the job done and share skills and learning.
This project is a win win, local services in need get support and our volunteers gain skills in a variety of areas.
This project has a fantastic enrichment side with opportunities for further training and wellbeing activities as well as regular social events.
One of our volunteers has said “Local Heroes is the best volunteering project I’ve done, I’ve been accepted into a group and I feel needed by the community, I’ve passed my food hygiene and first aid from doing this, I wouldn’t have done that before.”
