Volunteer

Volunteers are the driving force behind foodbanks. There are thousands of volunteers across the UK, helping The Trussell Trust Foodbank Network get emergency food to people in crisis. We want you to enjoy volunteering and there are lots of ways to get involved. Whatever role you choose, you will make a real difference to the life of someone in crisis. You must be able to commit to a weekly session as a minimum.

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. No vacancies at present.

Front of House and public facing volunteers

Meet and greet people as they come to the Centre with their E voucher. Offer them a seat and then fulfil their E voucher, checking whether there are any additional needs, such as toiletries etc…

No vacancies at present.

Tea/coffee volunteer

Offer everyone who visits the foodbank a drink and refreshments. We have a keen team of supported volunteers who assist with this vital task.

No vacancies at present.

Supermarket collections

Do you have an hour or so to spare on either Monday mornings, Friday mornings or both? Do you also have access to a vehicle suitable for transporting crates of food from local supermarkets to the Foodbank, and are you physically able to lift crates weighing around 20 kilograms?
If so, we would love to hear from you. We need new volunteers to join our team. Demand for our services is as high as it’s ever been and the collection of donated food from our local, linked supermarkets is an integral part of our operations. For an informal chat about the opportunities available please call Steve, our Warehouse Co-ordinator, on 07912 623559 or email [email protected]

Supermarket collection days

Join us for an hour or two a couple of times a year when we have collection days instore at both Asda and Tesco as part of their partnerships with the Trussell Trust.

If you are interested in volunteering please visit our volunteering site, we’d love to hear from you!
