Gifts of your time
Perhaps you have a few hours to volunteer, either on a regular basis or occasionally? We have a number of opportunities for you:
Packing Sessions for Arrival Packs and Sleep Packs
Joining the ‘Purple Packing’ team. Every fortnight volunteers meet at the Big Yellow at Staples Corner to prepare Arrival and Sleep Packs ready to be distributed to unaccompanied child refugees around the UK. If you are interested in joining our packing sessions then please contact us.
Help with coordinating arrival and sleep packs
The goods for our arrival and sleep packs have to be sourced, received, packed away and transport arranged once they are packed. We are looking for help for any one of these tasks:
- The sourcing, ordering and co-ordinating of goods for the packs
- Physically processing and moving the goods when they arrive and associated paperwork
- Liaising with agencies who require the packs for separated children
- Collection and distribution including logistics and transport
Media and press
Do you have an expertise or experience in working with the press? If so, and you would like to help, please let us know.
Public speaking
We are looking to build a team of volunteer ambassadors who will seek opportunities to speak about the Separated Child Foundation and deliver presentations on our behalf. If this is something you would like to know more about please get in touch.
