Volunteering at Christmas time is one of the most popular times of year people choose to donate their time to help, therefore opportunities usually get filled up quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many families and groups of people are struggling every day but with the most difficult time of year being just around the corner and due to the cost of living crisis, the help of volunteers is needed now more than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To everyone who celebrates Christmas, it is fulfilling to help make someone else\u2019s Christmas the best it can be. Many charity appeals are organised in the run-up to Christmas to help those in need. Some examples of where to volunteer in the UK this Christmas can be found below, these include The Salvation Army, Crisis Christmas centres, Age UK and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Homeless Shelters\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The festive season can be particularly hard and lonely for homeless people, and shelters are likely to be particularly full this year due to the cost-of-living crisis. Helping out during Christmas at homeless shelters usually involves sorting through donations, serving food and offering general support by communicating with people who may be lonely during this period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Centrepoint<\/a>, the charity that supports homeless young people, warns that this could be the worst homelessness crisis in the charity’s 50-year history, as the pandemic has led to thousands of young people losing their jobs and their accommodation therefore extra help from volunteers and donations are needed now more than ever. Volunteer opportunities for Centrepoint can be found here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crisis<\/a> is a national charity for people experiencing homelessness. <\/span>With the help of others, Crisis<\/a> want to ensure as many people as possible can leave homelessness behind this festive season. They will be extending their services in London providing support and accommodation in hotels from the 20th of December to the 25th of January. You can find available volunteering opportunities for Crisis here.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Women’s Shelters<\/h2>\n

The Christmas holiday period can often see more frequent incidences of domestic violence, due to factors such as more time spent at home with abusive partners, and additional financial pressures due to the cost of living crisis. You can contact a Women\u2019s Aid<\/a> domestic violence service or refuge in the area where you live to see if they have any volunteering opportunities available for you to offer your support this Christmas. Some available opportunities from The Pankhurst Trust<\/a> can be found on their website.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Charity Shops<\/h2>\n

Charity shops are particularly busy during the run-up to Christmas so stores may need some extra support. The Salvation Army<\/a> are currently looking for volunteer helpers to get involved with all kinds of activities for their many community charity shops. Their shops are suitable places for people of all ages and abilities to volunteer, tasks include operating the till and creating festive window displays. The Salvation Army has available opportunities here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Warm Banks<\/h2>\n

More than 3000 registered organisations have opened or are opening up free, warm, welcoming spaces for the public this winter across the UK with Warm Welcome.<\/a>\u00a0These warm spaces are usually in a heated building, which members of the public can use to help them save on their home energy bills. You can contact local charities involved with Warm Welcome to see if they need volunteers for their warm banks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Food Banks<\/h2>\n

Give someone the food they need this Christmas and dedicate your time to helping a food bank. You can find a local food bank with opportunities near you using The Trussell Trust website.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

FareShare<\/a> is another food bank charity that stops good food from going to waste and gives it to people who need it. Fareshare has plenty of opportunities which can be found on their website.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Supporting People Feeling Lonely This Christmas\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Elderly people can feel isolated and lonely at this time of year especially when they are in a care home.\u00a0 <\/span>Through volunteering, you can support older people who may otherwise spend the holidays alone. According to Age UK<\/a>, \u201cAlmost 1.5 million older people feel more lonely at Christmas than any other time of year.\u201d You can volunteer for Age UK to do their telephone friendship service where you phone an elderly person weekly, last Christmas, Age UK supported 28,345 telephone friendship calls to older people.\u00a0
