Voluntary Care Centre

Who are we?

The Voluntary Care Centre is the working name for the Forest Hill & Sydenham Voluntary Service Association Ltd, which was founded in 1969. Our organisation is a registered Charity (No: 266585) and a company limited by guarantee (No: 1131214) and operates within the London Borough of Lewisham.

What do we do?

We provide an easily accessible support service and a focal point for those in need within the local community, delivering direct services such as gardening, befriending, shopping, DIY, wheelchair pushing, driving & escorting.

We operate a fund to assist financially where most needed, for relief in crisis situations, and to promote social inclusion.

We recruit, train and place volunteers in voluntary activities which develop their skills and confidence and enhance the quality of life of the service users. We promote volunteering and volunteering opportunities and we work to identify new opportunities for volunteering.

How can we help you?

If you live within the London borough of Lewisham and fulfil the individual criteria for our schemes and projects we may be able to help make your life a little easier, add some quality and help you to take part in community activities and to remain independent; by providing voluntary support.
