Upcycling Volunteer
More Life Home CIC
This is a great opportunity for volunteers to be part of a team helping to improve a vulnerable family's or person's home by upcycling furniture. Using donated materials and furniture we work to inject a new lease of life into the home that will help the tenant to settle into their new space. After a day of revamping, we will invite the tenant back home to complete the reveal and introduce them to their newly transformed space.
More Life Home is an environmentally conscious not-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 people 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.

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