Want to get involved but can’t commit to regular volunteering? Do you have CSR days (paid volunteering days from your employer) that your employer gives you every year? Are you interested in volunteering with us, but want to try it first?

Welcome to a Little Village one-off volunteering day!

Our hubs in Camden, Brent, Tooting and Wandsworth (our warehouse) would love to welcome you for the day. Join us to meet new people, support families and make a real difference – all in just one day.

You will make a big impact by helping to sort donations, pack essential baby items, and support families across London. From folding tiny clothes to assembling baby bundles, every small act of kindness makes a big difference to families in need.

Sign Up Now!

Sometimes, we also have One-Off days focused on Big Kit, where you will focus on larger items only (such as beds, buggies and beds). If you get a kick out of assembling flat packs or love tinkering, building and fixing things, then these days are for you!

We have limited spaces available and we are filling them up on a first-come first-serve basis.

• Organising checked items by gender, age, and type.
• Making bundles or gift packs e.g., underwear, socks, bibs and linen (not at the warehouse).
• Ensuring that larger essential items (such as beds, buggies and beds) are safety checked, cleaned and in perfect working order.

 

What do I need for this role?

• Attention to detail
• Able to carry out light manual tasks
• A smile and comfy shoes

Is there an age limit? 

We love welcoming young people to our One-Off Days, as long as they’re accompanied by an adult.

• At our Wandsworth Warehouse, the minimum age is 14
• At our Brent, Camden and Tooting sites, we can welcome those aged 10+

 

Can I join as a group?

These sessions are designed for individuals and small groups. We bring together people from different backgrounds and perspectives in every group, so for this reason the maximum number of people from the same group/company is as follows:

• 7 at our Wandsworth Warehouse
• 2 at our Brent, Camden and Tooting sites
