Fill your Saturdays and Sundays with free social outreach events hosted across the city including a first-time sustainable dog bed-making workshop

Participants will make dog beds from cloth
After a hectic festive season, if you’re looking to retire yourself from the parties, pop-ups, dinners and drinks, we’ve got the perfect set of weekend activities for you that might fit into a few of your New Year resolutions, too.
ConnectFor, a Mumbai-based non-profit organisation that connects volunteers to registered NGOs across Indian cities, has released its list of free weekend volunteer workshops and events. In a first, the platform has teamed up with Seva Charitable Trust for a dog bed-making workshop this Sunday. Seva Charitable Trust works with the tribal Adivasi community within Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali to provide valuable life skills and sustainable livelihoods. Volunteers of this event will be taught to make comfortable and sustainable beds for street dogs. Don’t forget to bring along old T-shirts with you; other necessary materials will be provided at the workshop. While the idea behind this workshop is obvious — to extend kindness to all living creatures — another aim includes nurturing a sense of community and encouraging civic responsibility.
