To keep our overheads as low as possible, we rely on volunteers to make the magic happen. Volunteer activities are coordinated legally in partnership with Gulf for Good.

Our volunteers are our champions. We always need more support and expertise. Join our initiative today.

5) Fixer Upper to Fix AND/OR Stain Treat Clothing

We receive many valuable clothes that have small stains that need treatment at home with Vanish/similar. It would be ideal if this volunteer could collect these items, stain treat at home and then return the items with collecting the next batch.

Alternatively, we have many clothes that need minor repair by hand. This can be done in our backroom at the Palm Jumeirah or in your home.
