One off volunteering at Little Village Baby Bank

What You'll Do: 

We have regular one-off volunteering opportunities available at our hubs in Tooting, near Warren Street, and Wembley Central.

 

These days are a great way for you to volunteer in your local community without needing to sign up each week.

 

Come and find out more about Little Village’s work, whilst being hands-on making a difference to our families.

 

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. 

 

Why You'll Love It: 

It’s a chance to connect with like-minded people in a warm and friendly environment whilst helping to provide children in London with all the essential items they need.

 

Here's what our volunteers say:

 

“The warmth and commitment are clear from the start; the feeling that as soon as you start the simplest job you are making a difference; the immediacy of knowing each little bundle of clothes or toy or piece of equipment is going to improve the life of a child and lessen some of the anxiety the parents must feel. After just a few sessions I wish I had more time to give.” 

-Little Village Volunteer
