Volunteering at Whitechapel Mission Our office in London is close to Whitechapel Mission, which serves homeless and marginalised people with a day centre, skills training and specialist support. Throughout the pandemic we encouraged colleagues to raise funds for its work through sponsored outdoor exercise. As we moved back to the office, we returned to hands-on volunteering. Our whole team went to the Mission to sort through a mountain of clothes that had been recently donated. After three hours of work, we had over 500 coat hangers and multiple drawers of clothes ready to wear. And more than 17 black bin liners of unsuitable clothes for recycling. Our relationship with Whitechapel Mission continues – and is more important than ever as the cost of living bites. https://whitechapel.org.uk/ 15
