Give your time
Every volunteer is instrumental in providing shelter to families after disaster, wherever they are in the world.
Whatever skills, knowledge or spare time you have, you can play a vital part in this process. All we need is your passion.
If you don’t see a role below that fits in with your skills and availablility, think big and get in touch anyway – we may have something else that suits you.
It’s an incredible feeling to be able reach out and help people on the other side of the world in what is quite possibly the worst moment of their lives. That’s why I support ShelterBox.

Keeping you on the pulse
Representing ShelterBox at events, or helping out is always easier with a bit of familiarity and training.
We run regular regional training so we can keep everyone up to date on our latest work.
These training courses are ideal if you want to get involved in volunteering for us, or even for current volunteers looking to update their knowledge.
Look out for our monthly volunteer email newsletter – you’ll always feel up to date and part of our supporter community.
