Summary
Welcome parents and children to our inclusive space, organise singing, arts and crafts and play. Learning English Through Play (Let's Play). Weekly on ThursdaysDetailed description
We supports children aged 0-4 in gaining understanding and confidence in spoken English. We invite local experts and hold classes with parents to ensure each child can access services that uplift the whole family, helping them build bright futures in their new homes.
Our regular visitors include the Tamarind mental health team, Coventry’s Early Start team, women’s law specialists from the Law Centre, and many more.
Children and parents learn English through stories, songs, and play. We meet once a week on Thursday mornings at 9:45 AM to discover, experiment, and create together with children and their carers from all corners of the world. Everyone is welcome!
What we will provide to volunteers
💸 Reimbursement of costsAbout Carriers of Hope
We offer practical support to our clients by supplying vital necessities, ranging from food and nappies to pushchairs, toys, books, kitchenware and furniture. We repurpose high-quality donations from our local community, ensuring that individuals have access to everything they need to build their new lives in Coventry and reduce waste in our city too.
We foster a welcoming community for newcomers to the city, ensuring that no one faces the challenges of adjusting to a new place, language, and culture alone. By volunteering with us, our clients gain valuable opportunities to improve their English, develop new skills, deepen their understanding of their adopted home, and increase their chances of employment.
We work with partner organisations and agencies across the city to ensure our isolated clients can access all of the services available to ensure a happy and healthy future, from helping an individual understand the NHS App and make vital medical appointments, to linking them with legal experts and employment services, to enrolling them on budgeting courses, our aim is to ensure that everyone is empowered to live a positive, independent life.
Our work is made possible by the support and dedication of our diverse volunteer team, which includes local people, current and former clients, students, corporate teams, community groups, and professionals.
Whoever you are, we believe you can bring something truly special and important to Carriers of Hope. We offer both regular and one-off volunteering opportunities across all projects, providing full training, chances to improve your English or enhance your skills, and, most importantly, an opportunity to join a vibrant and welcoming community.
