Volunteer for Crisis This Christmas
If you are homeless or living in hostel accommodation, Christmas can be a lonely and depressing time.
For the past 39 years, Crisis at Christmas has helped to alleviate that loneliness.
They provide Christmas Centres across London from 23rd to 30th December that offer vital companionship, hot meals and warmth, and a wide range of essential services that homeless people often miss out on.
This year, they expect nearly 3,000 guests to visit their nine centres across London, and hope that for many this could be the first step towards leaving homelessness for good.
But they need more than 8,000 volunteers to make it happen, from those willing to 'muck in' and help out anywhere to people with particular skills like dentists, hairdressers, lorry drivers and performers.

General Volunteers
You will be absolutely vital to the smooth running of Crisis at Christmas as one of the General Volunteers.
Crisis needs more than 6,000 sociable and helpful people to work on a variety of tasks such as welcoming guests to their centres, serving food, sorting bedding and generally making sure things go to plan. A big part of your job will be getting to know the guests.
No special expertise is needed, just a general willingness to get involved and a desire to do something positive for the homeless this Christmas.
