Florence, Lily, Esme and Isla were out this Halloween selling hot chocolate to trick or treaters. They raised a fantastic £137, which they have donated to Loveworks.

Our fabulous Riding School allotment volunteers (Laura, Angela, Peter, Lynn, Peter and Gill) were awarded the Reigate and Banstead Volunteer Team Award this morning. It was great to welcome The Mayor to our allotment and show him the amazing work that our team are doing to produce fresh produce for our food banks. The Ridings School Garden volunteer team came to Loveworks in 2023 with a wealth of experience, enthusiasm and commitment. Within a year the plot had ten established beds, paths of bark, tool shed, planters, compost bins, fruit cage and communal seating area. Meeting once or twice a week the team have worked on the plot throughout the year, rain or shine, to transform the site. The harvests have been varied and abundant, making a significant impact to food bank users, who receive fresh ingredients in their food parcels. A huge thank you and well done to our volunteers. The work you do is fantastic and you absolutely deserve to be recognised for this ❤️🫛🌻 IF ANYONE HAS ANY MANURE THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DONATE TO THE LOVEWORKS ALLOTMENT PLEASE DO GET IN TOUCH garden@loveworks.org.co.uk #charity #allotment #foodbank #community

We are grateful to our volunteers every single day of the year, but during National Volunteers Week we want to say an extra special thank you. Loveworks help over 140 people in our community every week, and there is no way that this would happen without the generosity and kindness of our volunteers. We are often amazed by the time that our volunteers are happy to give, and the extra mile they will always go, to help those who are at a time of crisis. These recent messages from our foodbank users, sum up how our volunteers make a huge difference and touch peoples lives. “Thank you so much for all the kindness and generosity. Each time I have visited you guys at the food bank I am overwhelmed with emotion at the extent of kindness I receive”. Food bank user April 2024 “You never make us feel less worthy than anyone else and I am so grateful for your support until I get us back on our feet. Please remember how everything you do is appreciated, even if people don’t always tell you!’ Food bank user April 2024 Loveworks was set up as a local independent charity, with the ethos of the community helping the community. Our volunteers ensure that this continues. Thank you everybody. #volunteerweek #foodbank #charity #volunteering #community
