Hand in Hand Office Opening – 15th March 2019

18th March 2019



On Friday 15th March, it was the grand opening of our new Hand in Hand office.

The office will be used as a communal space for both social and work events, as well as for hosting training and meetings. Our staff and team of volunteers will be able to take full advantage of the space, which has been freshly decorated to a high quality by our internal Maintenance Team, and includes a renovated kitchen, separate office and an airy, spacious conference room.

The new office is located in the heart of the city centre at Basement 47 Southgate Street, Winchester SO23 9EH.

We would like to thank the staff, trustees, volunteers and residents who came along to show their support.

Contact us on 01962 827795 or click here to find out how you can join our friendly network of volunteers. As a volunteer, you will received a detailed induction, professional guidance, ongoing training, and plenty of opportunities to socialise, make friends and become a key part of the St John’s family.

We would also like to thank one of our volunteers, Tony, for providing the catering. He was also invited to cut the ribbon and mark the occasion as our first Hand in Hand volunteer to sign up to the scheme.
