Book sorting volunteer

Thousands of books are donated to Lifeline every week, and volunteers are required to sort, price and pack them. Under the direction of the Books Team Leader, volunteers have a critical role to play in the success of Lifeline's major fundraiser, our Big Book Fairs.

Join our sorting team

The Lifeline South Coast book sorting team are a dedicated, friendly and knowledgeable group of volunteers who manage to sort, clean, research, price, and pack around 200,000 books per year! These books are sold at our Big Book Fair fundraising events as well as our Lifeline Shops.
