One student had been coming for weeks but never spoke in English.
Then another student got a word wrong. She corrected them. She knew it all along.

This #VolunteersWeek, we celebrated the amazing volunteers who make our Elders Programme so welcoming and supportive. From Lunch Club to digital support, creative activities and friendly chats, your kindness helps older people in Battersea stay connected, active and valued. 💙
Filip is a Digital Champion in our TechUp programme. One person he supported booked surgery online for the first time. Another found accessible transport routes they didn't know existed.
Small things. Huge difference.

We were delighted to welcome children from Thomas's Battersea to our Elders Lunch Club. They served lunch, shared stories, and brought smiles and laughter to everyone. Thank you to the children and staff from Thomas's Battersea. We value our longstanding and thriving partnership.
It's Volunteers Week, and we want to say thank you.
To everyone giving their time across our Elders, Future Foundations and Community Learning programmes: it matters more than we can say in a caption.
