Since 2022, A Touch of Gentleness has been quietly growing, rippling out and touching all areas of society.
Daring to show how natural and joyous it is to connect and care for one another, our volunteers regularly support a whole host of charities and organisations including care homes, food banks, hospices, recovery hubs, prisons, shopping centres, support groups for people with poor mental or physical health, shelters for refugees and the homeless, friendship groups, and wellbeing events. We also attend many one-off community events.
As we grow, so does the help we need!
We have many meaningful volunteering opportunities.
Our organisation deeply values every individual volunteer and aims to give a sense of belonging, meaning and purpose to those who join.
Alongside the below opportunities, we also offer a range of other volunteering opportunities. Whether you have just a couple of hours a month to do some admin, help facilitate at events, or dive into a deeper commitment supporting our volunteers and our work, we would love to hear from you. You can email us to enquire: info@atouchofgentleness.org.uk
