Volunteering Opportunities with Community Wisdom CIC

About

About us Community Wisdom CIC is a non-profit organization working to promote healthy ageing in Surrey. We partner with Staines Baptist Church, running free, volunteer-led projects open to the entire community at 16 Hale Street, Staines-Upon-Thames, TW18 4UW. We believe that healthy ageing is not only about medical care, and that social wellbeing plays a vital role in our health. Our programmes focus on fostering social connections, evoking memories, stimulating creativity, connecting with the environment and promoting healthy eating to prevent cognitive and physical decline, and reduce loneliness and isolation in our community. Our programmes Our Community Café is a welcoming place to meet people and participate in simple activities / Food for Health (Food Bank) is a welcoming space that redistributes surplus food and offers tips on healthy eating / Our Zero-Waste Composting ensures that all unavoidable food waste is composted sustainably / Crochet and Knitting Circle is a relaxed group for creating and chatting at your own time / Seasonal Wellness offers simple health and safety tips at key times / The Important Simple Things and The Lost Wisdom workshops are designed to help you reflect on life, share your story, and feel more confident and connected to others and your community / Sensory Garden by the River, create a relax space for contemplation and interaction with nature and other community members.
