Volunteer

Volunteers are the life blood of foodbanks and your skills could be just what we need.

We don’t currently have any vacancies for new volunteers. When a volunteering opportunity arises we advertise on our social media channels (Facebook and Twitter) and on the News section of our web site.

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. Here are some of the roles we have in our foodbank.

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.

Helping at a foodbank centre

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.

Van driver

Delivering food to customers in outlying areas or with mobility problems and collecting donations of food from our many collection points in the community.

If you are interested in volunteering please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
