One off volunteering at Little Village Baby Bank

What You'll Do: 

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

 

Our one-off volunteering sessions are a brilliant way to get involved and see the impact of your support in just a few hours. Whether you come solo, with friends, or as a small team, you’ll help sort, pack, and prepare clothes, toys, and equipment for families who need them.

 

We’ve made it super easy and flexible. You’re in control of your volunteering: pick your date, book yourself in, and even rearrange if plans change, all within our Volunteero app. We add new dates throughout the year, so there’s always a chance to get involved.

 

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.”
