Pre-volunteering courses help to piece together people's future at The Whitechapel Centre

At the Whitechapel Centre we run a very successful, and ever expanding volunteer program that attracts people from many different walks of life.

A number of people who join the program have come to us after experiencing a difficult period in their lives, and then use it as a way of helping their lives to get back on track and re-integrate with society.

For many of our service users that decide they may want to join the volunteer program, they must first of all take part in the pre-volunteering course.

This runs every Thursday in our Enablement Centre, Langsdale Street, Everton and provides an opportunity for those who attend to take part in various different activities.

The most recent group spent two weeks piecing together, and making for themselves, some beautiful mosaics.

Some of the wonderful mosaics made as part of the pre-volunteering course.

The group worked extremely hard on their individual pieces, and the results (as seen above and below) show that.

Each mosaic has it's own individual style influenced by the person that made it.

Other activities you might expect to take part in as throughout this program might be bingo, or even a trip out for the day.

Whether or not everyone who takes part goes on to join the full volunteer program doesn't matter, it is simply a part of the path forward in their journey of life.
