Hand In Hand is a registered charity that arranges for volunteers to assist members of the community who need help navigating difficult circumstances. Our primary strength is the inspiring selflessness of local high school students. We have over 850 volunteers on board from across London and Manchester.
We provide ongoing support to families where either a child or parent is living with a mental or physical illness or disability. We also help families to cope with divorce, post-natal complications, death of a young parent, or severe financial hardship. Volunteers will go and give children in such families undivided attention, be a listening ear for them, play with them, and do homework with them. Another aspect of our work relates to our care for the elderly, assisting them with visits, shopping on their behalf, and providing food packages.
