North London Cares
North London Cares is a new community network that recruits young professionals and matches them to volunteering opportunities to support their neighbours in need of a little extra help, time and companionship. We do this because north London is a place of social extremes. The boroughs of Islington, Camden, Hackney and Haringey contain some of the best-connected people in Britain . high-flyers in law, media, finance, architecture, politics - and yet also some of the most isolated, with persistent challenges related to deprivation, adult isolation, unemployment, social dislocation and lasting distrust. In many cases, those groups - young and old, rich and poor, high-flying and unemployed - exist side by side, with too little interaction. That is a waste of human potential, and as we witnessed in the summer of 2011, the results can be corrosive for our communities. North London Cares. dynamic volunteer programme promotes the lasting value of real human contact. We work to harness the human capital that already exists in our communities by recruiting young people from social, digital and professional networks - and matching them to accessible tasks to support our neighbours in need. Together with local authorities, businesses, charities, community groups and individuals, our projects are helping to break down many of the modern-day barriers to social interaction, bringing our communities closer together. North London Cares works to: Provide extra support to our most vulnerable neighbours; Encourage north Londoners to participate in their communities and look out for one another; Build lasting relationships between people that would not normally interact; Facilitate a resurgence of community spirit within - and across - our target boroughs. That's why our tagline is "connecting people, building communities".
