The VAC Community Links team has excelled in this endeavour.
What they do appears to be simple but is certainly not. Community Links staff and the volunteers who work with referrals will quietly listen, they will identify an individual’s needs and they will provide all the support and information necessary to allow that person to access the community services appropriate to them.
This ability to listen is paramount to the success of the service. It is the most identified benefit that those who access the service both take away with them, and report back to us.
Our team, and the wonderful volunteers who work with them, are finding that the systems they have implemented are working so well from the perspective of both those referred to the service, and those doing the referring, that it can be almost overwhelming.
It could not be accomplished as successfully as it is without the help of our volunteers. Volunteer week might have ended on 7th June, but the extraordinary work of volunteers continues throughout the country, in our borough, and, here at Voluntary Action Camden, as a vital part of the remarkable work of the Community Links team.
The feedback we receive from Community Links clients is incredible. It so often speaks of those who felt invisible in this hurried world. Those looking for a little support. Those who just needed someone to open a door so they could walk through.
The Community Links Team is both experienced and composed. They help wherever they can, and we just wanted to say thank you.
