“Karma Bank was my first experience of volunteering for others. I’d volunteered lots for events but never for a community. The energy and vitality of our weekly meet-ups meant all you could do was smile.
The space always felt so happy and full of movement with lots of activities happening. Still today, I follow friends on social media and our friendship from KarmaBank continues.
Andrew’s care and attention to individuals is palpable and has made such an impact on so many lives. I hope one day again to see my friends, but for now, I know they’re doing well thanks to the efforts of KarmaBank!”

“Teaching ESOL at the Pod was a wonderful experience. The students were a both eager and thankful to learn in order to inter grate quickly into life in the UK. Their stories touched my heart and I found it a very satisfying and humbling experience. They gave back so much to me. The atmosphere at the Pod was that of a community, beit only one day a week. Everyone worked together to create a nurturing, caring experience showing that true humanity is still alive in this unpredictable world. I hope once again to be part of the Pod when the pheonix will rise again. One love”
