More Life Home is an environmentally conscious non-for profit organisation with a mission to ensure every child has a bed to sleep in and family a sofa to gather on.

More Life Home provides free, and low cost furniture & household goods for low-income families, care leavers and ex - homeless, living in poverty or dealing with crisis.

By redistributing furniture items, due to be sent to landfill, into the homes of those experiencing crisis, we are working to help save the environment and create warmth in homes of those unable to do so for themselves.

As part of this work, we host upcycling workshops that enable us to repair and personalise furniture making it that little bit extra special when it's placed into a home.

This is a great opportunity for volunteers to lead/facilitate the upcycling workshop.

Working alongside existing volunteers and More Life Home staff they will be involved with the following:

● We are seeking, confident, creative individuals with strong communication skills, passionate about helping people and recycling furniture. You will be assisted by volunteer upcycling assistants.

The Upcycling Workshop Facilitator will host basic furniture upcycling workshops with groups sized 5 to 30. These will be for beginner level and involve working on basic projects that can be completed in 1 - 2
sessions.

● The refurbished items are then redistributed into a vulnerable household or sold at low cost to raise funds for the organisation.

We would love to have some new volunteers join ASAP so they can get involved in our workshops which are ongoing throughout the year.
