VOLUNTARY POSITIONS
‘It is very re-assuring that in our Kew area there is a such a caring organisation like yours and all the active work you are doing for the elderly residents. Great work and thank you!’
KNA Beneficiary, July 2024
Trusteeship
Do get in touch if you have skills and interests in as broad a range of areas as safeguarding, fundraising, events, HR, IT systems and communications and marketing.
Work is well underway planning KNA’s priorities for the next three years as we head towards our 50th Anniversary in 2027. Would you like to be considered to help with our planning or do you have ideas to share – whether as a volunteer or as a potential trustee? We are particularly interested in developing KNA's ambition to bring people and organisations together to address loneliness and isolation in Kew, to identify new ways to work in partnership with local clubs, societies, businesses, schools, churches.
To express interest please email Abi.Palmer@kna.org.uk or phone 07951 293 319 We'd be delighted to hear from you.
Volunteering with KNA
Without KNA's Volunteers, we cannot provide the vital, much valued support to our 200+ clients. We are always seeking new volunteers to join our wonderful teams. To view the range of roles including companionship, driving, office administration, shopping and trusteeship, do visit our Volunteer page.
We are particularly looking for additional people to join KNA's fantastic Office Volunteer Team. The commitment is three hours once per fortnight - 9.30am - 12.30pm, Monday to Friday. You need to have excellent people skills and confident IT skills. We offer hybrid working. You can volunteer from your own home computer or in the KNA Office using KNA equipment. You will be inducted and supported by KNA Staff and your fellow Office Volunteers. For an informal chat about becoming a KNA Office Volunteer, please send an email to mail@kna.org.uk or phone Gail, KNA's Operations Manager on 07949 001 378
We are also experiencing an increase in demand for people who need a weekly or fortnightly shop. Could you become a weekly or fortnightly KNA Volunteer Shopper? KNA shops at the Manor Road Sainsbury's or M&S at Kew Retail Park. Most people provide a list for you to shop on their behalf and deliver their shopping to their home. Occasionally we get a request for someone, with decreased mobility, to be accompanied to the shops so they feel more confident shopping for themselves.
Why join KNA?
To put our work in context, KNA received wonderful endorsement from our beneficiaries in our latest Client Survey in December 2023. They are so appreciative of our wonderful volunteers.
'It is great to have the security of knowing that KNA is available to provide support.'
'I really appreciate KNA is there for me.'
'I have always been most grateful that this help is available to our community.'
'KNA is wonderful!'
