Engage your employees​

We offer a range of dynamic volunteering opportunities, giving your employees the opportunity to see first-hand what we do, grow their skills and strengthen teamwork, all while making a direct impact for people sleeping rough or at risk of homelessness. Many of our partners typically also choose to match their volunteering with a donation, to help cover the costs of arranging and support the service they’re working with.​

We have several ways you can get involved in our work, as individuals or a group: ​

• Join one of our outreach teams for an on-the-ground shift, providing practical help to vulnerable people sleeping rough. ​
• Work alongside our support staff to deliver essential skills workshops, helping improve people’s confidence and job readiness as they become more independent.​
• Get hands-on in with gardening or painting at one of our supported housing projects or hostels, creating a calming environment for vulnerable people to recover from homelessness.

Case study: Man Group, a global investment management firm, have transformed the garden at our supported housing project in Greenwich which provides accommodation for vulnerable people, including those with mental health needs. After the whole team spent a day together clearing up the space, smaller groups have enjoyed returning to maintain it – the wider Man Group team have even fundraised for further improvements to the garden, financing a vegetable patch and outdoor furniture. ​

Skills for good​

By sharing your expertise, even a short pro bono volunteering session can have a lasting impact. As a skills-based volunteer, you’ll collaborate directly with our service managers, helping us support our service users more effectively as well as saving us valuable resources. We normally offer skills-based volunteering opportunities as part of a wider partnership with companies who share our vision and values.​

Case study: Recently, we’ve partnered with law firm Bevan Brittan, whose expert legal advice in areas like housing law and tenancy rights has freed up our resources and ensured our clients receive the best possible support. In return, Bevan Brittan’s team has gained a unique, hands-on understanding of the challenges we tackle every day.
