Become a volunteer and make a real difference
Volunteer for us
Giving your time is a wonderfully rewarding way to make a difference.
Come to one of our Buddy Bag Brigades and help pack the Buddy Bags and meet others who, just like you, are making a big difference.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and a variety of backgrounds and so every one has different skills, experiences and networks who may be able to help us.
Whether your donation is time, money or skills, every single contribution of any kind is appreciated by the foundation.
Make a difference
Knowing you are making a difference is a wonderful feeling of ‘giving back’.
There are lots of different ways you can volunteer and give as much or as little time as you can spare, every volunteer helps.
Do you have a skill you would like to donate? We need people with lots of different skills to help us. Are you a speaker, a knitter, a good organiser, a networker? If you have a skill to put to good use please contact us.
If you can help in any way, big or small, we would love to hear from you.

“I remember some 70 years ago (almost), as newly orphaned boy of eleven being delivered to a Children’s Home, I was not allowed to take any of my clothes or possessions with me, I had nothing of my own, so I have some idea how today’s children, uprooted from the home, with nothing, must feel. I think Buddy Bags are brilliant. How I would have treasured one. It is an absolute pleasure for my wife and I to be involved in the sourcing and filling of our Rotary Club’s first tranche of 120 bags. We now look forward to filling Buddy Bags as an annual event.”

Ways to volunteer
The Buddy Bag Foundation could not operate without our talent of volunteers. Every person who contributes, however big or small, really does make a difference.
We are always looking for volunteers to join us from all walks of life, with difference skills and experience. From attending a Buddy Bag pack, to donating skills, services or join our fabulous team of knitters, there’s a role for everyone, however much or little time you are able to give.
