Volunteering

Volunteers are at the heart of Eden Gate. Our small staff team is supported by dedicated people who give their time, skills, and compassion to help us serve some of the most marginalised in Newport. Without them, we simply couldn’t do what we do.

Volunteering with Eden Gate is an opportunity to:

  • Make a real difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness.
  • Gain valuable experience working alongside professionals in education, health, and social care.
  • Build new skills through ongoing training and hands-on involvement.
  • Be part of a supportive team that values your contribution.

 “After retiring from a 35-year career as a solicitor, I began volunteering at Eden Gate. While some days were challenging, the experience was hugely rewarding and life-affirming. Eden Gate is a well-run organisation that provides training and support when times get tough. I would gladly recommend it to anyone considering volunteering.”

Volunteering is flexible — shifts can be booked or adjusted online, and there’s no minimum time commitment. Many volunteers give just a few hours each week.

Eden Gate is a Christian charity, but you don’t have to be a Christian to volunteer. The application process is simple and usually takes no more than two weeks.

If you have the skills, energy, and heart to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Email us to arrange a visit, meet the team, and see first-hand the impact you could make.
