Jon Meech
Chief Executive Officer
Every year I volunteer on Christmas day and cook for a charity supporting elderly people. Helping people who are usually very isolated take part in the Christmas spirit and enjoy what others take for granted brings me a lot of joy!
Project & Volunteer Coordinator - Green Space Specialist
I love being outdoors in nature, and love animals and the changes of the seasons. I think volunteering is a wholesome and fun way of giving back and making a difference!
I’m not a Londoner, but I am constantly inspired and encouraged by the people who I meet on this job. Whether that’s an individual giving up their free time on the weekend, a hard-working corporate volunteer team, or the countless committed staff of the charities we work with, it’s a privilege to spend my time connecting them all.
I have been involved in volunteering in London since 2015 and despite my advanced years, I am constantly energised by the enthusiasm demonstrated by the many volunteer teams I am lucky enough to work with. I particularly enjoy being engaged with volunteering in community gardens and kitchens where so many vulnerable groups are directly benefiting from the efforts of the kind souls who run these facilities.

Charity Relationship & Fundraising Manager
I really like it when people challenge themselves and do something they would not normally do in their daily work. I see how a small challenge can work towards building confidence and self-esteem.
Project lead Working at HandsOn London, I get to support positive change in our local community and empower others to get involved too. I particularly enjoy volunteer projects involving the elder community. It's a pleasure to lead and encourage enthusiastic volunteers to participate in an act of kindness to improve an older person's day.
