Make a Real Impact in East Surrey: Become an Outreach Volunteer with ESOS!

Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? Do you want to help transform lives and reduce homelessness across East Surrey? The East Surrey Outreach Service (ESOS) is calling on compassionate and dedicated individuals like you to join our mission!

Who We Are:

ESOS works tirelessly with people sleeping rough and those at risk of homelessness across the districts of Epsom & Ewell, Tandridge, Reigate & Banstead, and Mole Valley. Our goal is to provide support, hope, and essential services to those who need it most.

Your Role as an Outreach Volunteer:

As an Outreach Volunteer, you'll be at the heart of our efforts to combat homelessness. You'll:

  • Hit the Road with Our Team: Participate in outreach shifts alongside a trained Outreach Worker, traveling across East Surrey to reach out to those in need.
  • Engage and Support: Actively locate rough sleepers, offering a friendly face and a listening ear. You'll help gather crucial information to connect them with vital resources.
  • Start and end your shifts: at Raven House in Redhill, where you'll receive briefings, guidance, and support from our dedicated team. 

Don't worry about driving—we've got that covered! You'll travel as a passenger in our outreach vehicles.

This isn't just volunteering—it's a chance to make a tangible difference in people's lives. You'll be part of a supportive team working towards a meaningful cause, gain valuable experience, and make lasting connections within your community.

Take the Next Step!
