Volunteer with Crisis this Christmas and help someone access the safety, support and belief to build a life beyond homelessness.
Find your volunteer roleCrisis at Christmas services will be needed more than ever if we are to meet the Prime Minister’s commitment to get everyone rough sleeping in and off the streets. The journey from crisis to home takes more than a roof – it takes support and a future to believe in. We can only take advantage of this once in a generation moment to end rough sleeping if our supporters stand strong and proudly with us – be part of this moment by volunteering this Crisis at Christmas.
This Christmas, we will be providing support to 5,500 people people facing homelessness through our day centres and
hotels in London, and Crisis Skylights across Britain. This level of action is only possible through communities of volunteers joining us. Together, we can make sure thousands of people experiencing homelessness have somewhere to turn when they need it most.
With many volunteer’s 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 life-changing. You’ll gain skills, have inspiring experiences, build confidence, and above all, help someone as they build a life out of homelessness.
Every Christmas we recruit thousands of volunteers to run our Christmas services across Great Britain, at our hotels and day centres in London as well as our Crisis Skylights across England, Scotland and Wales.
You could provide a warm welcome when people walk through our doors, you might be out delivering festive hampers in your community, preparing and serving nourishing meals or offering personalised advice. Whatever you do, you’ll be helping people to access the safety and support they need to move from crisis to home.
