COVID19 Update

Due to COVID19, we have had to temporarily change the ELHAP Volunteering Project - we will be focussing on painting, gardening and clearing instead of supporting children and young people. We hope the ELHAP Volunteering Project will return fully very soon.

Applying to become an ELHAP volunteer is easy. You just need to complete an online form to start the whole process.

When we receive your completed application, we will then send details of how to complete the vetting process (this includes completing an enhanced DBS check etc). Please note that the DBS checks can take weeks or even months so please be patient with this part of the process.

ELHAP uses Better Impact to process all volunteer applications and to help schedule volunteer bookings.

Walking 2.6 km Everyday for 26 days Challenge

Inspired by ELHAP staff and their cause to fundraise for ELHAP, I am challenging myself to cover 2.6 km everyday on foot for 26 days straight- be it wind or rain! From 27th August to 15 September, I'll be keeping a consistent routine which is much harder than actually walking for me to raise money for ELHAP - so if you see someone walking in rain, it could just be me having an attempt at fundraising.
