This role involves:
- Putting together beautiful bespoke bundles of kit and clothing for families, depending on their specific needs
- Checking the donated stock that comes in and ensuring items are good enough quality
- Organising donations, by gender, age, and item type
- Welcoming families who are coming to collect items in person (dependent on the site and days you attend)
- You will be supported by the Baby Bank Coordinator and work closely with the volunteer team
If you want to make a real difference in your community, volunteering at Little Village provides this opportunity.

- The factors contributing to child poverty in the UK
- What needs to change in order to end child poverty in the UK
