What You'll Do: 

hen you arrive on-site you will be given a clear induction as to how everything works.  Checking and sorting items is an extremely important part of our work as we are an organisation giving gifts from one family to another, so they should be of the highest quality.

Why You'll Love It: 

If you want to make a real difference in your community, volunteering at Little Village provides this opportunity.

  • What needs to change in order to end child poverty in the UK
  • Working as part of a team
  • How to support and empower families
