Handson London is a registered charity wrth a fresh approach to volunteering. tts mission is to Ir￿pire and
empower people to be the change they vmnt to see.
Typically, mainstream volunteering opportuntties require 3 signifi(3nt commwtment on the volunteers. time,
nomally requiring a regular attendance itypicalfy for a minimum of six months) and can have a lengthy
indurtion and training periods. For many with limited time. this poses an insurmountable barrier. Handson
London believes that volunteering can be more fle￿ble. 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 th￿r 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 p￿SenCe 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
c￿￿entlY 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. Wrapup is a registered trademark of Hands On London. Since the campaign started in 2011,
Wrapup London has colletted and distributed over 218,000 warm coats.

volunteers were involved with 473 projects during 2024 up from 316 in 2023. Cumulatively, volunteers
spent 30.902 hours volunteering with Handson London.
During 2024 we were ableto increase our presence in Ealing with several large projects. This has given us
the potential to increase activty by up to 25% overthe prewous year. 2024 also saw a massive increase in
in-office volunteering with now over 3,200 volunteers choosing this option. representing 42% of all
corporate volunteer days. We currently have six in-office options and plan to increase these options during
2025. with respect to the needs of our charity partner5.
2024 saw the seventh year of our environmentsl campaign, Brighten Up London. During 2024. we
continued with our focus on pollinator friendly projects, planting wildnower meadows and constructing
habitats. Lasting the whole Spring to Autumn period. the campaign engaged a total of 3.276 volunteers
compared with 2.500 voluntèers in 2023.
2024 was another successFul year for Handson London's partnership with Good Deeds Day. Good
Deeds Day is celebrated in April across 109 countries and shines a yearly spotlight on community and
government volunteering initiatives. Throughout the month we hosted 12 days with corporate teams and
smaller groups to spread the word about volunteer stories and the positivity that ¥olunteering generates.
Our family days kicked off in the sprin& and took place across the city in London parks, schools and
community centres. We hosted 47 faTnily-friendly events throughout the year, up from 10 in 2023, with
activities for children as young as 2 years-old joining in. Sorne of the opportunities for 2024 included
Wrapup London coat sortin& construction at a school eco garden and scything the meadow5 in
Wormwood Scrubs. We were joined by many regulars, including religiou5 group5 and housing associations
for vulnerable people, as well as first time volunteers and 5tudeDts.
Wrap Up London celebrated its fourteenth year in 2024. collerting and disthbuting 15,687 warm coats for
some of the most vulnerable in OL5r city. This figure was slightly down on the 16,420 in 2023. mostly
affected by the current working patterns of commuters to the city. The reduced collections were
particularly apparent from the Westminster area. 90 different chartty projects accepted warm clothing this
vear. an increase trom 75 the previous year.

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 Indi￿ldualS 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. HOL 31r115 to create a
volunteering experience that is flexible. aC￿SSible. convenient and efficient, to both the user and the
receiver of the service. To this end. HOL has implemented the followng key elements of its business rnodel=

Risk Management
The Board has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate,
systems or pro￿dureS have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Signrficant external
risks to funding have led to a strategic plan th* is being updated which TrMII allow for the diversification of
fijnding and actiwties. We, therefore, envision that intemal control risks will be hjrther minimised by the
implementation of review procedures for all tr3nsaction5 and projects, as well as the on-going training of
stsff. The organisation relies heavily on volunteers and tharitable work undertaken by corporate partner5.

professionals within the UK. The services provided in support of these funds formed a large part of the
effort of the volunteers and employees as they focused on delivering a tOP4]uality se￿iCe experted by the
