Volunteer for UnityMK

We have a range of roles available and are hugely grateful to each and every one of you that signs up to be a part of a team that has a huge impact on the lives of those who are experiencing homelessness.

Please see below for all the current roles available across the charity - we’re currently looking for day and evening volunteers at Unity Park Station.

Unity Park Station Daytime Volunteers

Unity Park Station (UPS) provides an important base for our guests to get the support they need, see a friendly face and use our services.

We’re looking for a few more volunteers to help between 8am and 2pm Monday – Thursday. Any number of hours between those times would be great!

You can help in the café (level 2 food safety and hygiene required, we will provide at our cost) or elsewhere in the building where you could be doing laundry, manning our reception desk, supporting our welfare team, running the food bank, tidying up around the building, sorting out donations or chatting to guests and keeping them company. 

Tasks will vary depending on the requirement each day (no two days are the same!)

Unity Park Station Evening Volunteers

UnityMK supports the guests staying in MK Council's night shelter provision on the first floor of Unity Park Station on Elder Gate.

Council guests have access to our evening cafe downstairs where they can relax, socialise and eat an evening meal in a supportive environment.

You’ll be chatting with guests and helping in the kitchen (5pm - 7.30pm), tasks include wiping surfaces, preparing drinks, snacks, heating and serving pre-cooked meals, cleaning frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, light switches, tables, washing up and cleaning the kitchen (level 2 food safety and hygiene required, short online course at our cost).
