Get involved
There's a place for you here
However you want to help — with money, time, skills or connections — you can make a real difference to someone's life this week.
Donate
Give once, or keep the hearth burning
Your donation keeps our services free or affordable. Because we're a Community Interest Company, money given to Hearthwell is locked for community benefit — it can never be taken out for private profit.
You can support us with a one-off gift or a regular monthly donation, however small. Every pound reaches the people we serve.
- One-off donations
- Regular giving (monthly)
- Gift aid — reclaim the tax on your donation at no extra cost to you
- Corporate support and matched giving
Your generosity keeps the warm place warm
Volunteer
Give your time and skills
Volunteers are the heart of Hearthwell. No experience needed — just warmth and a little time.
Skills mentor
Share what you know — CV writing, IT, English, budgeting, interview practice — and watch someone's confidence grow.
Hub helper
Help run our community hubs and events — setting up, welcoming people, making tea and making it feel like home.
Behind the scenes
Admin, fundraising, social media, trusteeship — plenty of ways to help Hearthwell grow behind the scenes.
Working with local organisations to reach more people
Partner with us
Together we reach further
We work with local authorities, housing providers, businesses, faith groups and other charities to reach people who otherwise fall through the gaps.
Partnerships help us refer people between services, share venues and volunteers, and make sure no one is turned away without a route to support.
