One-Off Pick & Pack Baby Bank Volunteer

Help us spread love and kindness to children living in poverty in London.
Keen to volunteer, but don’t have the time each week?
We have one-off volunteering opportunities available at our Tooting, Brent (Wembley) and Camden hubs, and Wandsworth.

What You'll Do: 

Whether you’re an expert organiser or looking for a way to give back to the community, we welcome you.  You will sort and organise pre-loved items, destined to become beautiful bundles for the families we support, through our work as a baby bank.  It’s a chance to connect with like-minded people in a warm and friendly environment.

 

No experience required! All training and induction will be provided on the day.

 

  • Get to know each child using details we provide to select items they’ll love
  • Create beautiful packages of clothes, toys and books with love and care
  • Check donated pre-loved items, so that they are all of gift quality
  • Organise checked items by gender, age, and type
  • Make smaller gift packs e.g., underwear, socks, bibs and linen
  • Safety check and clean buggies and cots, when needed
  • Greet and thank people arriving with donations of pre-loved items
  • Help loading and unloading gifts and stock for delivery
  • Act in a non-judgmental, inclusive and loving way
Why You'll Love It: 

We are London’s biggest Baby Bank, helping over 7000 children per year. With love, we collect donations of pre-loved items to share with children living in poverty.

Volunteers are at the heart of Little Village and essential to everything we do.  From supporting families face to face or on the ‘phone to sorting donations or delivering gifts.

At Little Village, you’ll meet local like-minded people, use your skills, and have fun. Most importantly, you’ll make a real and immediate difference to families facing tough times.

What You'll Learn: 
  • Meet new friends and like-minded people
  • Experience within a high-profile London-based charity
  • Travel expenses available
  • Induction and regular training
  • Written references on request
  • Unique insight into baby banks and child poverty in the UK
What We're Looking For: 
  • Attention to detail
  • Able to carry out light manual tasks (or chat with us about reasonable adjustments)
  • A smile and a pair of comfy shoes
