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.
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
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.
