Kew Neighbourhood Association – Office Volunteers Welcome

Would you like to feel appreciated by doing something worthwhile in your local community? That’s how KNA Office Volunteer, David Deaton feels about his three hour volunteer role, once a fortnight, for Kew Neighbourhood Association.

KNA currently have vacancies for a three hour per fortnight Office Volunteer Role – 9.30am – 12.30pm. Option to work in their small office or from home. Are you good on the phone? Able to learn an online database system? Enjoy being part of a small team? Kew Neighbourhood Association needs you as part of our team.

KNA’s Office Volunteers are the link between KNA’s 40+ Driving Volunteers and our 200+ beneficiaries in Kew – who are often older and with limited mobility. Our beneficiaries phone the KNA Office requesting to go to medical appointments and to get The Avenue Club. The role of our Office Volunteers is to link our Volunteer Drivers with people in Kew who need transport.

One of the most rewarding aspects of David’s volunteering is knowing that practical help can make a real difference. He understands that a lift to hospital is about far more than transport alone. For many people, it offers reassurance and the comfort of knowing someone is there to help.

The sense of community within KNA is an important part of David’s experience. He describes the organisation as friendly and supportive, and values the opportunities for volunteers to meet, exchange ideas and enjoy time together. Christmas gatherings and everyday conversations in the office are all part of what makes the role so enjoyable for him.

His message to anyone considering volunteering is clear: it is worthwhile, appreciated and a wonderful organisation to be part of.
“It’s an opportunity to use my office skills whilst helping the local community. It’s lovely to speak with our clients.” – KNA office volunteer.
