Joining Our Community Cares

Support what we do 

We couldn’t do anything without support from incredible people like you. With your help, we can make more noise in the fight against poverty, better health and well-being for more people who need us.

Here are some meaningful ways you can get involved:

Fundraise – Organise your own fundraising event or support OCC as part of a challenge event (like a marathon).

Donate – Give once or donate regularly. You can also give in memory of a loved one. 

Volunteer – Become a volunteer in one of our two food banks we have in Plaistow and Canning Town, helping us support local families. 

Become a corporate partner – We’re always on the lookout for businesses who are keen to play a role in raising money or campaigning for mental health. 

Why volunteer with us?​

Whether helping internally in the office and offering support through administrative services, or helping externally with the food bank and food club, volunteering with us no matter how little the time, has a great impact on our community.

As well as this you can build many new skills and enhance your knowledge in teamwork, organisation and community service, as well as connecting with new people. Volunteering here will allow you to grow both professionally and personally.

You will become part of the ‘Our Community Cares’ community, working together to make positive changes. If you only have just a few hours to spare a week, or are looking for a more fixed commitment, we would love for you to join us.
