Our volunteers are one in a million. And the backbone of the wonderful work we do to pull people out of a life on the streets. We couldn’t do it without them.
Due to Covid-19 we are following Government guidance and therefore will not be processing new volunteers or asking for onsite help until further notice.
You mean a lot to us please continue to register your interest for the time we can return to full operation.
Many thanks.
Best wishes and stay safe
from all at Homeless Oxfordshire

Volunteering in our kitchen is our most popular volunteering opportunity. Five days of the week we need extra hands in our kitchen at O’Hanlon House. Over a lunchtime or dinner shift, you’ll help our chef prepare meals for as many as 70 people. Help in our kitchen makes sure no one goes hungry.
Lunchtime shift: Mon-Fri | 11-1.30pm
Dinner shift: Mon-Fri | 4.30pm-6pm
Our kitchen volunteers sign up to the shifts they can make. We know it can be daunting to ask you for a specific time commitment – not even I know what I’m doing in couple of weeks’ time – so we’re happy to have you on board when it works for you.
Do you cut hair, teach sports, dabble in arts and crafts? Have a hobby you could share with clients? We are always looking for people with unique skills, talents and interests to run sessions with our clients. Past volunteers have run cookery classes, creative writing sessions and arts and crafts workshops.
It’s so important to us that our clients spend their time meaningfully, developing new skills and knowledge and building their self-confidence. Activities help to make sure this happens. Spending a few hours with something different to focus on can make all the difference to someone’s day.
It cost the organisation £3.6m to run last year – that’s a lot of money. But in a time of austerity, more and more people are becoming homeless and we need to be here for them. Money raised makes sure we can help people in the way we know works – tailored to each client.
Fundraising is one of the long-lasting ways you can help. From holding a bucket collection or nominating us as your college’s charity of the year to holding your own charity event, you can be a part of our life-changing work, and you’ll make a bigger difference than you could ever imagine.
