Volunteering

Volunteer

Volunteering provides an opportunity to give something back to the community. Some of our volunteers have used their time with us to develop new skills which they have used to find a new job. Others have used volunteering as part of their vocational training. Some enjoy the experience of meeting new people and working alongside them.


Current vacancies can be found on our Notice Board in the Welcome Centre.

Our Background

Healthy Living Projects is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It was set up in 2000 by the Ilford High Road Baptist Church in response to need in the local community.

Our Aims

Through the services we provide, we aim to improve education, overcome social isolation and improve the health and well being of all those that engage with our projects. We are particularly focussed on meeting the needs of the Homeless & Socially Isolated and the Elderly.

Our Mission Statement

We are committed to serving people in our community and meeting real needs in practical ways.

Our Ethos

We are motivated by Christian faith and operate on Christian principles.

The charity’s objectives are for the benefit of the inhabitants of the London Borough of Redbridge and in particular those inhabitants who are refugees or asylum seekers or who are otherwise in condition of need by;

  1. Advancing education
  2. Relieving poverty (including through provision of advice on issues relating to, but not exclusively, immigration, housing, welfare benefit and employment; and
  3. Providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for recreation and leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.
