Our brilliant ImpACT volunteers were at the Norwood Carnival last Sunday helping run activities and stalls! ๐ก๐๐ Thank you @norwooduk for organising such an amazing day!
Teens from different faith backgrounds joined forces to make a difference at the ImpACT Youth Kitchen. Working together they made 150 meals for local food banks using surplus from @felixprojectuk providing nourishment to those experiencing food poverty. Thanks @faithbelieforum!
Thanks @JVN_org_uk for a wonderful awards ceremony on Sunday. Project ImpACT was delighted to receive a Volunteer of the Year Award for the amazing Rachel Hope as well as a Team of the Year Award ๐๐ซถ
Delighted to have won in the 'Inspiring Youth' category at this yearโs London Dangoor Awards in recognition of the thousands of hours our young volunteers have carried out supporting local charities. Thanks @JewishChron for the lovely article.

A wonderful honour to win the Mitzvah Day Outstanding Youth Achievement award & be a finalist in the All Year Round award. ๐
Our teen volunteers made a fantastic ImpACT & we are so proud of all their time supporting local charities.๐
Thank you @MitzvahDay & @JewishChron
We had an action packed @MitzvahDay cooking marathon! Thanks @felixprojectuk for donating surplus food which the teens transformed into healthy meals for local food banks. Wonderful that Ben Rebuck,
@sarahsackman & @NNarenthira spoke to inspire the teens.
Wonderful to join 1 of @Projectimp_ACT 4 @MitzvahDay sessions with @NNarenthira representing @mayorofbarnet. Also to hear from @sarahsackman plus an inspirational speech about the difference this food makes for homeless people in Barnet (and that this resident now has a home).
Project ImpACT welcomed @Jewish_Care residents to an inspiring & enjoyable morning of cooking together for local food banks. The pilot intergenerational volunteering session was a wonderful success & we look forward to future collaborations.
Happy Volunteers' Week!
Thank you to all our teen volunteers from 42 schools who have dedicated 45,000 hours to 50 charities & prepared 25,000 meals for shelters & food banks. You are the future generation of changemakers & we couldn't be more proud of you! ๐ซถ
