Sevenoaks District Council has been working to establish a volunteer register scheme for those wishing to volunteer and the means for residents to log or call in with a request for practical assistance.

Volunteers can register online via https://myaccount.sevenoaks.gov.uk/community-help/

Any volunteer registering will receive a Community Volunteer lanyard with an unique identification number on. These can either be collected from the Council’s Reception (while it remains open) or posted. The resident being assisted can, if they wish, phone the Council’s Contact Centre to check the identification of the volunteer.

Residents can phone or complete an online form to request practical assistance. This request will be sent through to the listed volunteer lead for the Parish/Town.

Sevenoaks Council has been pulling together a list of lead volunteers and volunteers but do have some gaps in the areas listed below. If you know of anyone volunteering in this area and are able to fill in any of these gaps, please do get in touch.

The lanyards are printed and ready to be distributed.

Staying scam aware - disrepair claims

We know there are several companies out there targeting our residents with false repair claim information and asking them to register on their websites.   These companies are not associated with West Kent in any way, and we are urging residents to ignore any communications from them Including any registration requests. 

 

Social Value Week – spotlighting the Community Chest

Social Value Week is all about shining a light on social value, sparking discussions, sharing best practice, celebrating success stories, and honouring dedicated supply-chain partners. Running from 25 to 29 November, it’s a great way to recognise important initiatives that help people – and for us, our residents.
