Update: Donations & Volunteering

UPDATE

Dear Together in Barnet supporters, 

I hope you are all well and I’d like to wish you a good VE Day and a relaxing bank holiday weekend.

We would like to announce an exciting new fundraising event on the 4th June… details to follow!

We are still looking for volunteers willing to do some delivery driving, as we are continuing to support over 90 clients across 8 London boroughs, and we still need donations of food and household essentials, either dropped off at HAB of via our Amazon Wishlist. Details below!

Gardening - We have a wonderful HAB volunteer who is beautifying the garden at HAB who has requested donations of pots and plants and nice garden furniture e.g. garden bench. 

Lonelineness packs - We are looking for donations of easily accessible fiction books and puzzles (with all their pieces!). If you have any books in Polish, Romanian, Arabic and Farsi that would be amazing!
