Street Friends Helping the Homeless Aberdeen is working towards a brighter future for homeless people, vulnerable and people in poverty. With dignity Street Friends Helping the Homeless offer fresh chilled sandwiches and desserts as meals, food parcels for a few days, clothing, pet food, toiletries/condoms/sanitary products to those most in need as a result of homeless, poverty or vulnerable. We have established links with specialist services. When we befriend, we keep a note anonymously, on how people are doing, if they are in danger/emergency they are given immediate help. If they wish to progress we can use the referrals to get people to the correct professional service. We offer kindness, empathy, friendship and safe choices if people wish to pursue them. As our outreach grows we need more volunteers to help with aspects such as sorting food donations, storage and with city centre outreach and driving. We have a full volunteer pathway with training opportunities and all help makes a real difference and is always greatly appreciated. For more information about volunteering with Street Friends Helping the Homeless please contact Sam Raion, Communications Secretary at email admin@streetfriendshelpingthehomeless.com

As a volunteer you’ll drive the van and help deliver/collect furniture. Due to Covid-19 restrictions all deliveries and collection are made to and from the front doors of properties we will not be entering any homes. Covid-19 protocols must always be followed, for example, wearing face masks and keeping hands and surfaces clean.
