Pass The Time Project
In direct response to lockdown the setup of the Pass the Time
project was a collaboration between, VCG, Mutual Aid, London
Leisure Limited, Homestart, Royal Borough of Greenwich and the
London Fire Brigade.

This initiative collected donations of jigsaws, books, games, toys
and children’s items, passed them through an infection control
process and then were distributed throughout the borough to
isolated residents or families by the London Fire Brigade.
London Fire Brigade—delivering
items to help pass the time
This community initiative proved to be very successful
and ran for a period of four months. The initiative ran entirely on the goodwill of
all the organisations involved and the 3 fantastic volunteers recruited. They
assisted with infection control and categorisation of donated items in preparation
for delivery to the isolated and shielding residents of the borough.

Volunteers’ Week

During this difficult year, no events could take place as they usually would have. New
inventive ways were used to celebrate the contribution that volunteers had
made to their communities and services in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

Viral tea parties and a thank you video for the Mayor of Royal
Greenwich (Cllr Linda Bird) were some of the ways volunteering and
volunteers were celebrated.

Although Volunteer Centre Greenwich were unable to hold our Mayor of Greenwich
Recognition 250 Volunteer Award Ceremony we were still able to (Cllr Linda Bird) thank you
video to volunteers
recognise member organisiaton volunteers with a recognition packs and
certificate sign by the Mayor of Greenwich to recognise volunteers contribution to members
services across the borough.
