About Westminster Connects
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, local people and groups asked us how they could help in their communities. In response, we set up Westminster Connects to co-ordinate volunteers with Westminster residents that need help.
Westminster Connects is continuing to support vulnerable residents as well as charities who are grateful for all the support they get through volunteers. We are as always humbled by the amazing community spirit of Westminster’s residents and their willingness to help others.

Mehmet's volunteering story
Volunteering is not a big thing in my country. It was the first experience for me, after one year working as a volunteer with many organisations, I realized that it is so beneficial to everyone. The best thing is that you can feel we are all together, even though life is getting hard for all of us.
