Signing up, step by step
Bed Brigade builds beds on a Saturday morning and delivers them the same day. You do not need tools, a truck, or any experience. You do need to sign up first, so we know how many people to plan for. Pick the guide that matches you.
You are coming by yourself. Find an event, sign up, and get a text to prove the phone is yours.
You are bringing a church group, a scout troop, your family or your coworkers. You start a team and share an invite.
Someone sent you a link, a QR code or a short code. This is how you use it — and what to do if it does not work.
What you need before you start
- A phone that can get text messages. We text you a short code to make sure the number is really yours. Anyone can help you type it in.
- An email address. Event details and any last-minute changes go there.
- An event to sign up for. They are all on the events page.
Some words you will see
These guides say "team" and "team captain". A few screens use slightly different words for the same thing.
- Team, or group
- The people coming together. Some buttons say group.
- Team captain, or organizer
- The person who starts the team and sends out the invite.
- Role
- The job you do that day — building, driving, bedding, and so on.
- Waiver
- A short agreement you tick before you volunteer. You sign your own. Nobody can sign it for you. Read the full waiver.
- Chapter
- Your local Bed Brigade group. Find yours here.
What you are agreeing to
Signing up asks you to agree to two things. You can read both in full, or print a copy, before you start.
- Volunteer waiver
What volunteering involves, the risks you are taking on, and the safety rules you agree to follow.
Read it in full → - Media release
Permission to photograph and record volunteers, and the privacy rules for anything you post yourself.

Volunteering with someone under 18?
A volunteer under 18 cannot agree to either document themselves. A parent or legal guardian has to read and agree to the guardian section of the volunteer waiver and, if the young person may appear in photos, of the media release. Read both with them before the build or delivery.
