Volunteer for Crisis at Christmas

Volunteer with Crisis at Christmas and be there for someone as they start to build a life beyond homelessness.

 

Join our friendly and supportive volunteer community that’s passionate about ending homelessness. With many volunteers returning year after year, the connections you make this Christmas can be long-lasting. And the relationships you build with people experiencing homelessness can be lifechanging.   

 

You’ll gain skills, have inspiring experiences, build confidence, and above all, help someone as they build a life beyond homelessness. 

 

You could be providing a warm welcome when people walk through our doors looking for support or delivering festive hampers in your local community. You could be delivering vital healthcare services or providing personalised advice. Whatever your role, you’ll be making a real difference this Christmas.

 

Applications to volunteer for Crisis at Christmas this year will open in early October 2024. 

 

What sort of roles are available?

Every Christmas we mobilise a unique volunteering effort to provide warmth, companionship and vital services to people facing homelessness at one of the toughest times of the year. Each year thousands of volunteers up and down the country make our Christmas services possible.  

Our volunteers help end homelessness at Christmas by:  

  • supporting guests staying in hotel accommodation provided by Crisis in London. This could involve a range of activities from running the tea and coffee bar, giving out clothing, using your skills to offer wellbeing support and advice or running activities such as art sessions and football games 
  • supporting people visiting day centres for support and advice in locations around London 
  • supporting your local Crisis Skylight centre in England, Scotland and Wales deliver meals and activities to people experiencing homelessness.
