OUTREACH VOLUNTEER (WOMEN ONLY)

Spires outreach service is carried out in the Spires vehicle around Lambeth on Monday, Thursday and Friday nights at 9:30pm – 1:30am & Monday mornings at 5am-8am.

Outreach volunteering will be a mixture of:

  • Befriending and listening to women

All volunteers interested in outreach work must first undergo health & safety training from our team and shadow a few shifts before they and the team are confident they’re ready to volunteer on outreach.
