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,

    • As a dog owner, I completely agree. I’ve been chased through the park by a dog, whose owner was completely ignoring it, in spite of me calling her, dog walkers who cannot control the number of dogs they walk, owners who don’t understand dog behaviour (yes, small dogs can be aggressive). It’s not all dog owners though, and it might be better to label them as socially inept people, because really the lack of respect for other people and self entitlement is the main characteristic.  
    • I’m a dog owner and I agree with you.  I watched as a guy sat on a bench in Peckham Park the other day, headphones on, glued to his screen, while his dog took a massive shit on the lovely flowerbed by the entrance.    I step in dog shit all the time and have to interact with idiots who talk to their dogs like this they’re toddlers and know nothing about canine behaviour, body language etc. They simply cannot read their own pets and have no authority over them.    Then there’s the bin situation - FFS if it’s overflowing don’t add to the pile on a boiling hot day. It’s not fair on the poor people who have to walk past or the poor council people who have to empty the bins. It’s completely out of control     
    • I think dog ownership has gotten out of control both in raw numbers and in behaviour Seems to be waaaay more dogs and owners around compared with 10-20 years ago. And I've been bitten in the last 6 months with a completely clueless owner who saw no problem
