By connecting the skills of local volunteers and businesses with those in need, An Hour For Others runs vital community projects - from health and wellbeing initiatives to poverty relief - that help Liverpool residents build a safer, kinder, and more equal city for everyone.

Meet our founders Kev and Gill...who turned one hour into a movement across Liverpool.

Founded in 2014 by Kev Morland and Gill Watkins, An Hour For Others was born from a simple yet powerful vision: that we all have the power to create a better world through small, collective acts of kindness. 

Based in the heart of Liverpool, our charity works in unity with local people and businesses to tackle poverty, reduce crime, and improve wellbeing by empowering the community to support one another. 

Through our dedicated hubs and life-changing programmes, we provide the tools for people to upskill, heal, and reclaim their power to live fulfilled lives. 

We believe that by working together with compassion and respect, we can build a future where everyone is healthy, equal, and supported.

This particular charity that myself and my friends support provides vital services to the local community that money can't buy! Friendships that last a lifetime, confidence building for the youngsters, a place to belong, a place to get help when needed. This is a totally unique charity run by very caring individuals who absolutely get the purpose of living in a community and serving others.

I feel extremely lucky to be part of AHFO - to have such a supportive community locally is amazing. AHFO offers a structure to our entire week…Coffee morning (Monday) is a great positive way to start the week with friends, children’s clubs during the week gives my children belonging and something to enjoy, the food club (Friday) helps take the pressure of supermarket shopping for the weekend and financially is brilliant.

Taking part in AHFO’s sessions has had a very positive impact on both my wellbeing and my childs. The sessions provide a safe, welcoming environment where we feel supported and included. They have helped build confidence, improve social skills, and reduce feelings of isolation. The activities are engaging and well-structured, which has helped my child develop communication skills, emotional awareness, and positive routines. Overall, attending AHFO’s sessions has strengthened our confidence, sense of belonging, and emotional resilience, and has had a lasting positive impact on our day-to-day lives.
