Volunteer
We could not change so many lives without the hard work and commitment of our volunteers.
Over 10,000 people give their time, energy and skills to help us to deliver our services, campaign, raise money and provide vital administrative and IT support.
New booklet of volunteering opportunities
Research from Crisis has highlighted the vital role played by volunteers.
Housing Justice estimates that last year alone volunteers in London’s winter shelters gave 70,000 hours of their time at a value of around £715,000.
