Christmas Set-Up Volunteer

NB: As part of this application, you'll be asked your availability and once you've applied, we'll assign you one or more shifts and will confirm these in plenty of time over email!

What is Caring at Christmas? It’s a pop-up day centre based at the Trinity Centre for people experiencing homelessness and in precarious housing situations – for example, people having to sleep rough, people currently living in hostels and temporary accommodation. From Christmas Eve, through to December 30th (daytime) we provide a warm and friendly environment, with breakfast, dinner, and resources including access to support and healthcare, a cinema, activities, and opportunities to socialise.

This shift will be based at the Trinity Centre before we open our doors to guests, setting up the centre alongside a team of volunteers.

Responsibilities include:

• Sorting donations
• Transforming the Trinity Centre into the Caring at Christmas Day Centre
• Decorating the hall
• Setting up tables/chairs, clothing station and the pantry
• Setting up the cinema area
