Last year more than 113 Thamesmead residents volunteered 11,073 hours of their time in Thamesmead through activities ranging from health and wellbeing and literacy champions to drama facilitators and drivers.

Six residents went on to gain employment, both within the Trust and externally, proving volunteering can be a pathway into employment.
