Volunteer

Volunteers make a difference in the local community across a range of roles, including boosting donations, packing food parcels, providing a warm welcome, tackling loneliness, signposting to additional services, connecting with partners, raising awareness and leading projects.

Volunteer roles

Warehouse volunteer

We need help to weigh, sort and store donated food before it’s made into parcels for clients to collect. You could help in this vital work to ensure we have the right food available at all times.

Voucher coordinator

Foodbanks work with front line agencies who in turn refer clients to foodbanks. Some foodbanks have over 100 referral partners and in this role you will be coordinating the issuing and distribution of vouchers to these agencies. Once the vouchers are redeemed the data they contain needs to be added to our central database. Full training and support is available.

Wellbeing or Befriending Volunteer

Meet clients and give out food parcels. Have an informal chat with clients over a cup of tea, to discuss their situation and signpost to further support. We also run a variety of wellbeing activities throughout the week next door to our Foodbank warehouse, and we would welcome a hand.

Driving Volunteer

Picking up donations at our permanent collection points on selected days and delivering these to our foodbank (use of own car needed).

Events Volunteer

Helping out at ad-hoc events such as our Family Fun nights or Summer/Christmas supermarket collections.
