Give time
Donating your time is a great way to support us and have fun at the same time. Every hour you can spare will help us.
- React
If you’re looking for a flexible role why not sign up to be an emergency fundraiser? We’ll contact you when an emergency strikes and let you know how you can help. £500 would be enough to fund a safe play area for children traumatised by disaster.
- Retail therapy
If you can spare just four hours a week, why not volunteer in your local Save the Children shop? It’s a great way to meet new people and pick up new skills. Volunteering just four hours saves us £20 in costs a week — enough to buy essential foods for a family for one month.
Mary Portas Living and Giving shop
From Thursday 4 June to Saturday 27 June, Mary Portas with Grazia, helped by many of their friends across the worlds of fashion and retail, will create a new kind of second hand shop in the luxurious surroundings of the Village at Westfield London.
The Mary Portas 'Living and Giving' shop will raise funds to support Save the Children. The Mary Portas shop space has been donated by Westfield and will be staffed and run by volunteers.
We urgently need volunteers to staff the Mary Portas Living and Giving shop at Westfield London.
If you're able to suppport us by giving your time to staff the shop, please complete this online volunteering form, selecting 'Mary Portas shop Westfield' from the drop down branch list.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering, or giving time, is a great way to meet lots of new people by becoming part of a community of committed supporters.
It's also a good way to improve your career prospects, and of course you'll be playing a vital role in helping us to save children's lives.
If you're interested in fundraising, why not join your local supporter group? If you'd rather organise your own event, download our fundraising guide (PDF 3.1MB). And we're always looking out for volunteers to help run our high-street shops or to fill special assignment roles.
Frances Seth has been volunteering with Save the Children for 20 years. She visited our feeding centres in southern Niger.
Whilst there she saw first hand how the efforts of volunteers just like her really do help save lives.
