Do you believe that no one in North and East London should have to call the streets ‘their home’ and that everyone deserves the right to a safe, secure, and settled home?

If yes, we have the opportunity for you!

Citadel Community Connectors London is a community-based, volunteer-led support service, designed to help end homelessness and make a real difference to the lives of those who need it most.

Our volunteers help individuals both emotionally and practically in making the move to safe and secure housing.

This can include finding and settling into a new home, setting up utilities and bills, sourcing furniture and decorating.

Volunteers also help individuals to connect and engage with relevant support providers and networks to help ensure new tenancies are a success.

Our support can be as simple as having a coffee, providing a listening ear, and letting an individual know that someone cares.

Our volunteers also bring us ideas, and experiences to shape how we make a difference.

Volunteers receive a full induction, training, and ongoing supervision.

This is a great opportunity to make a real difference in the community while connecting with like-minded, caring individuals.

We ask that you commit to volunteering for at least an hour a week, for up to six months, and participate in our induction, training, and ongoing support.

We will arrange a DBS check, and you will be entitled to reasonable expenses and travel costs.

Could you lend a hand and be part of the solution?

If you live in any of the following Northeast London boroughs Newham, Havering, Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, Hackney, Islington, Camden, Tower Hamlets, Barnet, or Enfield or if you are willing to travel across boroughs, we would love to hear from you.
