Our goods sorting team meets regularly to process donations, organise storage, and make sure our emergency supplies are ready to go when they are needed most.
Do you enjoy organising, sorting, and bringing order to busy spaces? Our Goods Sorting Volunteer role is a vital way to make a real difference behind the scenes and to the people we serve.
At Wycombe Homeless Connection, we are fortunate to receive generous donations of food, clothing, and essential items from individuals and groups in our community. These items are part of our emergency response for people experiencing a housing crisis, including those who are homeless. They are given out to help people get through immediate, difficult situations and meet basic needs with dignity.
Keeping everything sorted, stocked, and easy to access means we can respond quickly when someone needs urgent support and that’s where you come in.
Our goods sorting team meets regularly to process donations, organise storage areas, and make sure our emergency supplies are ready to go when they are needed most.
What you’ll be doing
- Sorting donations by type, size, and best-before dates.
- Emptying, labelling, and refilling storage boxes.
- Organising cupboards and storage areas so emergency items are easy to find.
- Helping keep spaces tidy, clear, and well organised.
- Occasionally transporting surplus items to charity shops or other locations.
What the role is like
This is a practical, hands-on role where small tasks make a real difference to people in urgent need. A well-organised shelf or clearly labelled box can mean someone in a housing crisis gets essential support quickly.
You’ll be working alongside a friendly team of volunteers, sharing tasks, chatting as you go, and helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
Who this role suits
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Enjoys organising, sorting, and tidying.
- Likes working as part of a team.
- Is organised and able to work efficiently.
- Is comfortable with light physical activity, including moving boxes and goods.
What we offer
You’ll receive full induction and role-specific training so you feel confident and supported from day one. Wycombe Homeless Connection is an award-winning charity with a small, experienced team working closely with dedicated volunteers who make this work possible.
Without volunteers, we simply couldn’t do what we do.
When you’ll volunteer
10:00am – 12:30pm, one Wednesday per month
Flexible, occasional commitment based on your availability
