Volunteer with Social Bite this Christmas
We will once again be installing our stunning Trees of Kindness in five key cities – Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Birmingham and London. From 14th Nov until 22nd Dec, we’ll be inviting the public to visit the Trees to donate gifts and essential items for people and families experiencing homelessness.
Festival of Kindness isn’t possible without amazing volunteers like you!
Your main role as a volunteer at the Trees of Kindness will be to provide a warm smile and welcoming presence at our tree installations for supporters. You will welcome supporters to our tree and let them know more about how they can support the Festival of Kindness by bringing a gift or by making a donation that could help someone who is vulnerable this winter.
In a typical shift you might find yourself:
- Handing out literature and giving information about Social Bite and the Festival of Kindness to passers-by
- Collecting gifts and donations from supporters, businesses or schools visiting the tree
- Counting gifts and helping to pack up the van – ready to go to our sorting and distribution warehouse
- Interacting with crowds at the tree when we have visiting choirs and performers, and spreading awareness about Festival of Kindness
Update: Glasgow and Edinburgh Volunteering
