Event day volunteers

On the 23rd December, between 600-800 volunteers turn up to build baskets of food, love and hope. But also to have lots of fun, meet lots of new friends and then deliver those beautiful baskets into the community to those in need at Christmas.

You really won’t get a better feeling than to see the look of joy on the faces of the people you are giving those baskets to.

To see what a fun and rewarding day Basket Brigade is, take a look at our last event. We’re sure you’ll want to join us this year!

Please note, every year we are fortunate enough to be very over subscribed with volunteers, so please don’t delay to ensure your space at this years’ event.

Event day Crew

If you’d like to be part of the main team helping the day run smoothly and ensuring we get the best out of everyone on the day, we would love you to join us.

We need about 100 of you lovely people, so if you’re available on the 23rd December and would love to be part of an amazing crew, please take a look at the sort of roles we need to fill and apply.

To be the first to know when we open registrations, please subscribe to our newsletter.

Planning team

Maybe you’ve been a volunteer building baskets or maybe you’ve been part of the crew, and you’re now thinking what can I do next?

Well, how about taking on more responsibility and being part of the Planning Team?

How about stepping into a role that needs you to listen, organise, direct and help others?

Of course we’ll need commitment from you leading up to the event – 1-2 hrs a week for Team Members and 3-6 hrs for Team Leaders.

Might sound a lot but this really is a unique opportunity to not only play a very important part with BB UK but also for personal growth.

What are you waiting for!

What's in it for you?

There really is no better feeling than giving back. As Tony Robbins once said, “The secret to living is giving”. Whether you’re helping build the baskets, Crewing or being part of the Planning Team, both your heart and mind will expand. Here’s what a few of our volunteers had to say about their own experience.

I first took part in Basket Brigade in 2018, because I wanted to make a difference to people at Christmas time. What I didn’t expect was the warmth, fun and satisfaction of being part of a group of like-minded individuals who are working to make the world a better place. Being on the leadership team and helping to deliver the event for so many people is a great experience and a wonderful opportunity that I cannot recommend highly enough.

James
Registration Team Leader

I admit was a little nervous when I volunteered to be part of the leadership team as I didn’t know anyone and wasn’t quite sure what I had signed myself up for. But I needn’t have worried. Everyone was so friendly and helped each other out. It was an amazing experience to work together and see all our hard work come together on the day.

Maya 
Deputy Team Leader

It was an incredibly rewarding experience. Both in the lead-up to and on the day of the event, I got to work alongside a group of lovely people with such evident passion and commitment to the cause. On 23rd December, being able to see the hard work come together to deliver such a successful event was fantastic. Being part of the leadership team has also been a great opportunity to hone my leadership and organisational skills that I know will continue to benefit me in my professional career.
