For many with limited time. this poses an insurmountable barrier. Handson London believes that volunteering can be more fleble. Our unique approach is to provide volunteer opportunities that are easy to access, full of cholo, rewarding. fun and have rEal impact where it matters most. Hands On London works wrfch over 140 small and medium sized local community projects, identrfying and helping to create flexible opportunrties that make a real difference to the value of their work and the communities they are based in.Hands On London provides volunteer supportto a wide range of charities and other community groups. These range from homelessness organisations, older people's day centres, ernployment groups. children's groups and environmental organisations. Our growing relationships with the third sertor enable us to offer our corporate partners meaningful volunteering projects. We can develop a single day. a monthly or an annual programmeto develop the values of our corporate partner5 and the interests of thr teams. Programmes can incorporate multiple artivities and meet muFtiple Ixrtcomes. Our knowledge of the local communtty means these activities will have a real impart where it is needed most. Enwronmental tssks have become far more popular in recent years so during 2023 we were able to increase our pSenCe in Croydon and develop new and impactful opportunities in Ealing. This has given us the potential to increase activity by up to 4tPA over previous years. 2023 also Saw 3 massive increase in in-office volunteering with now over 1,600 volunteer5 choosing this option. We centlY have four in- office options and plan to increase these options during 2024. Wrap Up London is Handson London's annual coat collertion campaign. Held in November, the campaign engages Londoners across the capttal to donate their old or unwanted coats. E*h year, collections are set up at main commuter tube stations across London. Many corporate partner5 also hold in-house collections, encouraging staff to drop off coats which are then sent in to support the campaign. The campaign is increasingly encouraging schools, colleges. shops, hotels and place5 of worship to a150 hold collections. The collected coats are sorted, packed, and distributed to communty partners atyoss Greater London supporting the m05t vulnerable at homeless sheFters, women's refuges. elderly centres. refiJg& ntreS and children's charities.

To promote the efficiency and effectiveness of charities, not-for-profit organisations and voluntary organisations are for the benefit of the public by the provision of volunteers in the Greater London area. For the purpose of this c13U5e, charities are organisations that are established for exclusively charitable purposes in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Hands On London Charity No 1140291 Company No 07407984 Trustees report and financial statements Year ended 31 December 2024 Our vision is to make HOLthe premier volunteer organisation for indÈviduals in the Greater London area. By mobilisingj facilitating and expanding volunteer networks, HOL viill propagate the vision that we all have a role to play in making our city a better place and that we each have the time, infomation and means to do so. We can all be the change by volunteering. The Need Several factors impede the expansion of volunteerism in London. According to the latest Department of Communities and Local Government Citizenship Survey. some of the most reported barriers to volunteering were time and informational constraints. rime constrdints are the most common barrier to participation reported by those who either do not volunteer or volunteer infrequently. Given time constraints. potential volunteers are often unable to make a fixed, regular commitrnent to volunteer. Moreover. many volunteer opportuntties are scheduled during weekday5, rather than evenings or weekends. Both characteristi(s of current volunteer opportunities seriously impede volunteerism by those indNidu315 With tirne constraints. Lack of information on volunteer opportunrties poses further barriers: reported th they had "not heard about opportunFties to help". and 14% reported that they.did not know any groups th need help". Moreover, the Survey reports a large majority of volunteers depend upon word-of-mouth infomiation to identify volunteer opportunities. The informatiofb available on volunteer opportunities in London is very fragmented and often out of date making it dtFficult for IndildualS to locate and sign up for volunteer opportunities. Inforrnational barriers are compounded by other factors, including- Many volunteer websTtes are not user-friendly. 2. Many small non-profit organisations do not have websÉies or social media pages. Where they do, they are often not optimised for volunteering searches. 3. Many volunteering websttes are national and not London-focused. Therefore. it is difficLklt for potential volunteers to identtfy opportunities that are readily accessible to where they live and work. 4. Typicallyi to volunteer. one must'applv for each specific position. which is CUTnbersome and time- consuming. Normallytr UK volunteers must apply for a DBS check which can take monthsto receive. Furthemiore, even if they get a DBS check. it is not portable to another charity wtthin London. This is a major barrier to people who wish to give theirtime to more than one good cause. How we achieve our objectives The business rnodel for volunteerism used by HOL prowdes a soltrtion to many of the time, informational and regulatory constraints that currently impede the growth of volunteerism.
