The 100 Club

To recognise the incredible contribution of volunteers throughout the borough, the Enfield Strategic Partnership has launched a new scheme, the 100 Hours Club. People engaged in voluntary work and Voluntary Organisations that engage volunteers in the Borough are invited to get involved in the 100 Hours Club.

One-to-One (Enfield) is working in partnership with Enfield Council, Age Concern, Home Start, Enfield Disability Action and Enfield Voluntary Action to develop the 100 Hours Club to ensure that volunteers are recognised and rewarded for their hard work.

Volunteers can do anything from as little as 2 hours per week on average.
