But too many do - children with special needs, families in crisis, elderly people with no visitors.
Hand in Hand provides them with weekly one-to-one support from trained teenage volunteers who bring friendship, mentoring and relief. This simple, personal act changes lives: it calms chaotic homes, boosts emotional wellbeing and reminds vulnerable people they matter.
What makes us unique? Our support is powered by local young people. They show up, build trust and grow into the kind, responsible adults our community needs.
Your donation helps fund training, family support and volunteer visits, and makes sure no one is left behind.

Hand in Hand has helped me grow in such immense ways, through the joy I get by knowing I'm helping relieve some of the parents’ stress even for just an hour or by simply seeing the kids’ faces light up when we walk into the house. it's just an unexplainable feeling of purpose for me every single week.
