Every winter we invite London Bridge businesses and individuals to donate gifts that we send to small local charities, just in time for their festive gatherings.
If you’d like to donate gifts please get in touch with sofia@teamlondonbridge.co.uk
There are three types of volunteering opportunities:
1. Help us with the Gift Back campaign, this is best for individuals rather than teams. The activities will involve collecting, sorting or maybe wrapping gifts at our London Bridge Hive on the following dates:
Tuesday 10th Dec, 12:00 - 14:00 (FULLY BOOKED)
Tuesday 10th Dec, 15:00 - 17:00 (FULLY BOOKED)
Wednesday 11th Dec, 12:00 - 14:00 (FULLY BOOKED)
Wednesday 11th Dec, 15:00 - 17:00 (FULLY BOOKED)
2. Go to charities nearby and help them with their festive gatherings, this is best for teams. This could involve setting up the venue, running some activities, helping tidy up at the end.
Time & Talents, 6th Dec, 3:30-6:30pm, help with the setting up and activities at the Frozen Fete; also Wrapping Day on Thu 12th Dec, between 10am-5pm, time slots may vary depending on your availability

Walking distance from London Bridge.
BRITE Box project - 12th December, 10:30-13:00, max group of 6 people; make boxes, decant and pack fresh ingredients into meal kit boxes readyy for distribution to schools; Bermondsey Street, SE1
3. Set up your own volunteering lunch or afternoon for colleagues. This will only work if you’ve been collecting gifts and you think you are collecting a good number; the volunteering would involve wrapping the donations and labelling them, and dropping them to our office which is just by the station. Same examples below.
