From supporting our outreach teams with StreetLink referrals, to teaching art classes or providing psychotherapy, our volunteers are vital in helping people in their recovery from homelessness.

Last year more than 450 volunteers supported clients in our emergency hotels and other frontline services.

Sara's experience

“When you hear about other people’s experiences and establish a connection with that person, you start to realise what really matters.”

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Sara volunteered in our mental health service in Bath, supporting people who have experienced homelessness and adapting to volunteering during an unprecedented time.
