Clean bedding and towels keep our guests comfortable and happy — and that’s where our Laundry Volunteers make a real difference. You’ll be helping behind the scenes to make sure everything is fresh, clean, and ready for the next night at the shelter.
What you’ll do
- Collect laundry from the office Monday–Friday.
- Wash and dry bedding and towels either at home or at a launderette.
- Return the laundry by the next scheduled laundry day so it can be packed and loaded onto the van for the shelter.
- Handle bedding, pillowcases, hand towels, and body towels for up to 12 guests each night.
What you’ll need
- Access to transport and the ability to carry laundry bags.
- Willingness to follow hygiene and care guidelines.
Training and support
We’ll provide all role-specific training, so you know exactly what to do and how to keep things running smoothly and our Laundry Coordinator will organise a rota to share the load.
Interested?
Make sure you're registered either as a new or returning volunteer. We'd also encourage you to come to one of our in-person training sessions so you can hear all about the shelter, meet other volunteers and see what you're a part of!
