Do you want to be part of a passionate team dedicated to making a difference to the lives of underprivileged children? Then join Team Big Hug and donate your time! 


We welcome unpaid volunteers to join our growing team. We are looking for volunteers who can offer their own skills and initiative in the following areas:

  • Fundraising (particularly events),
  • Marketing
  • Communications


We want people who can think outside the box and come up with original concepts to help achieve our aims. If you’re interested in volunteering with us, please express your interest by completing our volunteer form. Whether it’s one day a week, or one day a month you have to spare, we want to hear from you!   

Currently, we do not offer any international volunteering opportunities.

Hear from a Big Hug Volunteer

“During the day, I work as an Assistant Producer (Events and Conferences) and I have been an Events Volunteer at the Big Hug Foundation since July 2012. I decided to get involved because I wanted to make a difference and help children that really need it. This combined with my passion for organising events inspired me to get involved. Volunteering for Big Hug has been a fantastic experience; it gives me the chance to give back to children who do not have the basic needs we take for granted.”
