Unless it was accepted as “work” which maybe could bring in all sorts of issues, although I’m not sure.

I read the Government explanation about whet we can & cannot do during this new lockdown, here is what I think is the important bit that makes me believe that you would be allowed to leave home to do it as a volunteer:
"You must not leave or be outside of your home except where you have a ‘reasonable excuse’. This will be put in law. The police can take action against you if you leave home without a ‘reasonable excuse’, and issue you with a fine (Fixed Penalty Notice).
You can be given a Fixed Penalty Notice of £200 for the first offence, doubling for further offences up to a maximum of £6,400.
A ‘reasonable excuse’ includes:
Work - you can only leave home for work purposes where it is unreasonable for you to do your job from home, including but not limited to people who work within critical national infrastructure, construction or manufacturing that require in-person attendance
Volunteering - you can also leave home to provide voluntary or charitable services."
