Volunteer with ShowerBox

Help us Make a Difference, One Shower at a Time

ShowerBox only runs thanks to our amazing volunteers. We’re incredibly grateful to anyone who can donate their time and energy, so we can support as many people as we can.

There are three main areas where we are currently looking for volunteers:

1. Be part of the shower crew:

Join our friendly team and help deliver our weekly showers. It can be a busy day, but it’s a rewarding experience where you’ll play a vital role in making sure things run smoothly.

2. Connect with supporters and help form partnerships:

Do you have a knack for networking? Help us build partnerships with organisations that can offer ShowerBox essential items like toiletries, snacks, and cleaning supplies.

3. Spread the word online with your social media and marketing skills:

Unleash your creativity on social media! We’re looking for volunteers to craft engaging content and interact with our followers to promote ShowerBox and similar causes.
