Volunteering The Ark depends greatly on its 50+ volunteers. Many Volunteers come in to help cook for one of the three meals a day we serve, other volunteers 'befriend', which is listening to, and supporting, those residents who want to talk about themselves and their problems. Volunteers also staff our reception which is often the first point of contact for residents and visitors.

We can also offer you training in matters related to homelessness and offer expert guidance and advice on homeless issues. We do not charge you for this service, but are always grateful for any donation you may wish to make towards our present and future work. Individual companies and organisations No matter how large or small your company or organisation, we can offer training on homelessness and issues surrounding it. We are continually running our own staff and volunteer training sessions and these are available to small groups and individuals. We will offer bespoke training related to homeless matters to large organisations.
