Almost all that we are able to do to serve our community is because of some amazing people who volunteer their time to us. Would you like to be one of those amazing people? 

Were currently looking for volunteers to help with:

• Debt Advice (Minimum 7 hours per week on 1 day) 
• Gardening (a few hours a week)
• Present Appeal drivers and sorters to help collect, process and redistribute gifts. Availability during the week from 18th November- 15th December. 

Send us an email at luton@salvationarmy.org.uk with a brief outline of how you'd like to volunteer and we will be in touch to explain our application process. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
