Maintenance Volunteer (buggies and cots) at Pelican Parcels

What does the opportunity involve doing?

We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about wanting to help local families and can help clean up and maintain our donated buggies and cots/beds using their practical skills.

A buggy offers a family freedom to get out of the house with ease. A clean and safe bed means children sleep well and are ready to learn.

We will ask you to complete a couple of online trainings relevant to your role and you will be expected to complete a DBS.
