About Depaul
Depaul is a homeless charity providing accommodation and support through hostels and outreach services. Depaul believes that everyone should have a place to call home and a stake in their community. Our aim is to work with those who are socially excluded and marginalised by providing a quality led service in order to produce the best possible outcomes for those accessing our services. We work in partnership with central and local government, housing associations and other non-governmental organisations such as the society of St Vincent de Paul.
What's Involved
We need enthusiastic volunteers to help out with Christmas parties and activities in our hostels in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
If you’re artistic, why not try your hand at card making, or if you like baking join our Gingerbread Bake-Off. We’re also looking for people to help out more generally at our Christmas parties, serving food and drinks and keeping people company.
We have lots of dates and time slots from December 10th right up to January 1st.
