Our volunteers do an amazing job of sorting donations, making up packs of uniform, preparing clothing for our community partnerships, and so much more.
We operate a flexible rota system so that volunteers can help as and when they are available, whether they want to come along every week or just once in a while. No previous experience is necessary and we welcome volunteers from all backgrounds.
Young volunteers are welcome but please contact us in the first instance to find out about how we work with various age groups.
We love support from local businesses but at the moment we we do not currently have any opportunities for groups to volunteer with us. We are a very small team with limited space and sadly it just isn’t feasible to host groups of volunteers at the moment.
Please contact us to find out more.
