LHA was my first volunteering experience and it was great! The place is more like a guest house, so there isn’t a common area and you’ll talk more to the other volunteers.
That said, my tasks were easy and I didn’t have any trouble with that. The receptionists, assist manager and manager were great with me whenever I had some doubt or needed something.
The guest are fine in general. There are some that see you as their employee at first, but after some time they smooth 😅 others are extremely kind. I ended up actually meeting and having insightful conversations with a few of them.

As pessoas que fazem parte da chefia, são um tanto quanto que desencontrados nas informações. muita gente mandando e eu, em particular, fiquei um pouco perdida no início. Mas depois as coisas se organizaram e deu tudo certo! Laurent é um homem especial. Atuante!! Gostei da experiência!!

Good experience overall. I found a good team that made a difference. A bit tiring doing the same job for a month but serving dinner to the residents I had no complaints (good job seeing everyone). The room was comfortable, meals included which is a real plus in London!
I would like to thank all the LHA team for your welcome and this experience!
