Volunteering

Get involved and support the north London community

Helping those in need

Jacksons Lane have been serving our community in lots of wonderful ways for over forty years. Many events at Jacksons Lane would not be possible without the help of our loyal and committed volunteers.

In 2023/24 we worked with 176 volunteers across north London to help people in need of support.  From supporting older adults who face a Christmas Day alone, to work experience internships and everything in between, we offer volunteers who work with us challenging but fulfilling opportunities to work in their communities.

 

If you are interested in working with the community on arts-related projects and would like to get experience working as part of an exciting, innovative theatre and arts centre, this could be the opportunity for you. Voluntary positions at Jacksons Lane also give you the chance to meet new people, make new friends and see interesting events and theatre.

For over 50 years, Jacksons Lane has opened its doors to isolated and vulnerable older adults in the local community who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Jacksons Lane this Christmas. We had a fantastic response and received over 200 registrations to date!

There are other opportunities to support our Christmas initiatives: we plan to welcome 100 adults to our building on Christmas Day and provide 200 hampers across Haringey and north London. We simply could not do that without the support of our donors.

Please consider supporting Jacksons Lane JustGiving campaign or visiting our Christmas Day Gift List. Every donation will make a real difference in making Christmas a little more special for each of our guests.

Feeling Good helps isolated older people access creative and wellbeing activities at Jacksons Lane and our partner organisations across the borough. We need volunteers to support activities and events. This can be anything from one offs, like social events and theatre trips, to more regular weekly engagement

Thanks to the generous donations from our community, we were able to develop our outside spaces over the summer of 2023 and introduce a brand-new planting scheme.

Our new Garden Volunteer scheme includes drop-in gardening sessions once a month from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, with coffee and biscuits available for volunteers. You don’t need to have prior gardening experience and are welcome to join and stay for as long as you’re able to. Tasks will involve tending to the plants we have, weeding and keeping the areas tidy, and seasonal planting from time to time.

If you are interested in volunteering with the garden, please submit your details here.

Our JL Circus project works with young people aged 5-18. JL Circus volunteers can take part by supporting the circus facilitators deliver practical exercises, working one-to-one with a participant, helping the JL Circus Coordinator with administrative tasks, helping source props and costumes for showings, and supporting the annual JL Circus Spring Showcase Day.
