This week is #volunteersweek and at Action West London we not only value volunteers that work with us but also encourage our clients to gain work experience through volunteering. Our chair of Trustees Tony Coyne recently talked about the importance of volunteering in local charities in his monthly blog post, here are some key points from that blog: 1. Local volunteers have a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges facing their community. This insight allows charities to tailor their services to address specific issues effectively. 2. When people come together to support a common cause, it fosters a sense of unity and purpose. Volunteering creates opportunities for individuals to form relationships and strengthen social networks, which can lead to more resilient communities. 3. Volunteering can empower individuals by providing them with a platform to use and develop their skills. This can boost self-esteem and contribute to personal growth, which in turn benefits the community as a whole. 4. Local community volunteers are more likely to stay committed to a cause over the long term, ensuring sustained support and impact for charities. Charities, localism, and community volunteering are all interlinked and play an important role in shaping strong, vibrant, and supportive communities. By working together, these components can create lasting positive change and enhance the well-being of individuals and families in the community.

Collective forms of giving are growing across the world as the landscape of philanthropy shifts towards more collaborative practices, enabling power from within communities, rather than the 'top down approaches' of traditional philanthropy.
