Volunteers Needed at BLISS 4 ALL

As a Community Interest Company, BLISS 4 All delivers voluntary community activities as well as engaging in sustainable income-generating ventures. They target the unfortunate equilibrium that causes the neglect, marginalization or suffering to the young and less-privileged members of our community.

They have already transformed the look and use of Edgewood Community Centre in Rednal via the actions of volunteers. From a position of being used for less than 5 hours per week and eventual closure, the hall is now being used for more than 50 hours per week and the future is looking increasingly promising.

In order to extend its inspiration and support services to more people. BLISS 4 All has an urgent requirement for volunteers and placement candidates to support its services and help us to move to the next stage of our development plan which involves income-generation via social entrepreneurship. They passionately deliver through innovation, collaboration and direct actions that establish a new equilibrium providing great benefits to the society; especially to the young and less-privileged.
