​Donations Volunteers

Could you help us to use donations more effectively? We're looking for volunteers to help collect, deliver and sort donations, ensuring they get to where they're needed most.

You'll need a driving licence and access to a vehicle and be willing to lift and carry donated items such as boxes of toiletries, toys, and occasional items of furniture. This role will be ad hoc with certain times of the year being busier than others, but we'd expect you'll need to be available a few hours each month, during the standard working day.

Volunteer Hairdressers and Nail Technicians

Are you a qualified hairdresser or nail technician? Would you be willing to volunteer some of your time to help boost the morale of those affected by domestic abuse?

​

Arriving in refuge is tough and starting again in a new area takes courage and resilience. We would love to be able to treat residents to a haircut or to have their nails done once they have settled into refuge life; to give them a chance to feel more like themselves and to build their feelings of self-worth.

 

If you have the right skills and would be happy to offer your time on an ad hoc basis (just a couple of hours each month), then we’d love to hear from you.

We'd estimate you'd need to be a available for 6-8hours per month, but that is flexible.
