Helping Our Neighbours: A Local Way to Volunteer in London and Support Inclusion

Blog Article

In a city as large and dynamic as London, it’s easy for some residents to feel left behind—particularly those living with disabilities. As communities, we often talk about building more inclusive cities, but real change comes through everyday action.


One way local residents can make a real difference is by simply walking alongside someone who needs a bit of help.



Travel Hands: A Community-Led Approach to Inclusive Travel


Travel Hands is a local initiative with a simple but powerful idea: match visually impaired people with volunteers who can walk with them safely to their destination.


If you’re looking to volunteer in London and want to support inclusion without needing specialist skills or a long-term commitment, this is a great opportunity.


Volunteers choose their own schedule, are matched with someone nearby, and help them navigate London’s streets and public transport safely.



Why It Matters for Local Communities




  • Fosters neighbourly support and inclusive living




  • Improves safety and confidence for visually impaired residents




  • Strengthens community bonds through one-on-one connection




  • Fits easily into everyday life—even just one journey helps




Whether you're a student, retiree, professional, or simply someone who cares, Travel Hands gives you a way to turn local goodwill into local action.
