Volunteering
Westminster Connects was set up at the start of the pandemic to support people who were vulnerable due to coronavirus.
With the help of volunteers, community groups and businesses, Westminster Connects has supported more than 25,000 residents, and continues to reach out and offer support to those who are vulnerable.
Volunteering is a great way to offer support to your local community and make a real difference to people’s lives. It’s also a good way to meet new people and gain new skills.
