Take a look through some resources for SGOs and ways volunteers can continue to support local communities during these unprecedented times. Please feel free to share any articles or other information that we can include on here.
As a result of circumstance and due to a request from volunteers to support in any way they can, Link UP is now receiving and promoting requests for 'front-line' volunteers to match where possible. Please find the form by clicking read more!

Local Skills for Local Communities
Link UP London mobilises professional skills to create vibrant, engaged and linked local communities.
We currently work in the boroughs of Wandsworth and Lambeth
Where can I find meaningful volunteering near me?
Link UP's Skilled Volunteering programme connects local people with professional skills to Social Good Organisations on meaningful, short-term projects. We structure these to make a real difference in the community!
"A great way to provide support to local charities without needing a long-term commitment - for me, it's the perfect way to offer my time on a voluntary basis. I finished my project feeling like I'd really contributed something valuable."
I've had a career break, now what?
ReLaunch helps professional women, like you, who are out of the workforce prepare for their next steps. Through our 4-session workshop, identify your strengths, build confidence, create a clear goal, and become part of a strong and supportive network.
"The ReLaunch workshops have given me the confidence to believe that I can achieve my dreams and make a difference - despite being out of paid work for many years!"
What more I can offer to my local community?
Why not join our Expert Team and share your lifetime of experience and expertise with local Social Good Organisations? You will help them to think clearly about their strategies, structure, systems, and approaches, and provide guidance on specific issues local Social Good Organisations are experiencing.
"Great to know my professional skills still have a use after retirement and that I can use them to help worthwhile organisations in the community!"

Project Story
For the past 70 years, Age UK Lambeth has been supporting older people across the entire borough of Lambeth. They needed to successfully market and promote their Christmas Campaign, which pays for isolated older people to have dinner with the team on Christmas day.

Volunteer away days are great, but how can we make them sustainable, and not disruptive to the day to day operation of the organisations we are trying to help?
