Christmas Voluntary Work Wanted

Recommended Posts

Can anyone advise of a charity that requires volunteers for Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

My circumstances have changed this year and I would like to offer my help to a charitable organisation that is open over the Christmas period.

I do not have access to a vehicle though am willing to travel by foot, hopefully not 10 miles each way!!


If anyone know of anything and needs someone to lend a hand, please let me know.


All replies would be gratefully received


Thank you

I have volunteered for Crisis at Christmas for the past 4 years; it runs for a week around Christmas. The closest centre to ED is near South Bermondsey station, however there are always plenty of volunteers willing to give a lift on Christmas Day if you don't have a car.

They set up a Facebook site as well to help communicate to potential volunteers.

The most interesting place to volunteer is in the kitchen, but you will need a food safety certificate before volunteering. Crisis also offer a food handling course for free in the lead up to Christmas (4 hours on a Saturday).


The launch on the Crisis website for Christmas 2015 should happen in the next month or so.


I have made many friends, and its a great experience!

Wow that information is great, I will contact them as soon as the launch starts.

I did some voluntary work in a kitchen via work this year, it was such a great day, never worked so hard but had a wonderful time with the volunteers and the people who came

Hi Gorilla7


Are you only interested in voluntary work over the seasonal period or do you have the time and capacity to do weekly volunteering in the Southwark area? As we might have some excellent opportunities you might enjoy at out community arts organisation. I've included the link to our website below - check it out and do come back to me.


Let me know,

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,
    • Regardless of who 'owns' the bin- the organisation regularly comes to empty it and clear up the area. They were there today (Weds)
    • I was just giving advice as to what to do with a 9 year old during school holidays as per Pugwash’s original post. I like to keep it simple Sue. 
    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
