I am currently participating in one of their workshops and find it beneficial to give back my time and skills to the Eden Jar.

“I am a volunteer with the Outreach Team in the Eden Jar Organisation. We set meetings, brain storm about different issues that affect people’s life in the communities. We come up with questions to find out how people are dealing with their day to day lives. I hand out questionnaires in the estate blocks.
We come across people who struggle behind their doors. Some of them are lonely, depressed and can’t get information easily or find activities There are a few reasons, including language barrier, or not knowing where to go.
I was astonished to find out the amount of people that are not aware about the local community centre, where they can socialise and get information. We also provide information leaflets. I feel happy and fulfilled It means a lot.”
