Volunteer

At Howgill Family Centre, our community outreach work is at the heart of everything we do. We provide support to people of all ages, from young families to older and more isolated members of our community. Our aim is to ensure that everyone feels valued, supported and connected, no matter their circumstances. This work is important because it helps bring people together, reducing loneliness and isolation. It also offers practical support through activities, advice and simply being there to listen when someone needs it most. By strengthening these connections, we help create a community where people feel included and are able to thrive. Volunteers are a vital part of making this possible. They bring their time, compassion and unique skills, offering a friendly face and a listening ear to those who need it. Every volunteer has something special to contribute, whether that’s their time, life experience, energy, or fresh ideas that help us grow and reach more people.

By joining us as a volunteer, you are doing more than giving your time , you are helping to build a stronger, kinder and more connected community. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of local people.

Warm Hub at Howgill

Our Warm Welcome Hub provides a safe, friendly and welcoming space for the community to connect, socialise and access support. Our Warm Welcome Hub aims to reduce loneliness, promote wellbeing, and create meaningful opportunities for companionship, activities, and guidence in a warm and welcoming environment. Our Warm Hub runs every Tuesday at our Cleator Moor setting (next to the doctors) from 12pm until 2pm. Our lovely Volunteeers enjoy making refreshments, helping in the kitchen and communicating with our lovely attendees. Our attendees enjoy a hot bowl of soup or a jacket potato with refreshments and yummy biscuits all for no cost.

 

We also run a Prize Bingo at our Warm Hub which offers our attendees a fun and social activity where they can relax, enjoy friendly games and win small prizes.

 

Each month we run a 'Make your Own Greetings Card' session which gives the community an opportunity to create thoughful handmade cards in a frendly environment. This fun activity encourages creativity, social interaction and community connection while helping our attendees build confidence and share conversations while they enjoy creating their own card to their liking. This session runs from 10am until 12pm with no cost and sessions are posted on our socials. Watch this space!
