House to Home Volunteer - HVC 2054

ReStore - Habitat for Humanity GB

House to Home (H2H) is a community programme inspired by a successful initiative in Ireland. The programme supports people by improving their living spaces so they feel safer, more comfortable, and truly at home. Through practical help and kindness, volunteers make a positive difference to people’s wellbeing and quality of life.

As a House to Home Volunteer, you will help transform homes through decorating, painting, and small repair tasks. You will work as part of a friendly team to create welcoming, safe, and comfortable spaces for individuals and families in need, helping create a friendly and positive environment for residents 

 

Volunteers may support with:

  • Painting and decorating rooms
  • Basic DIY and small repair tasks
  • Moving or assembling light furniture
  • Cleaning and preparing spaces before and after work
  • Supporting with simple home improvement projects
  • Working respectfully in people’s homes

Volunteers will receive:

  • An introduction to the House to Home programme
  • Health and safety guidance
  • Support from project coordinators and team leaders
  • Information about safeguarding and working respectfully in people’s homes 

What skills do I need?

As a House to home volunteer you would be: - 

  • Friendly, reliable, and approachable
  • Willing to work as part of a team
  • Practical and happy to help with hands-on tasks
