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

There’s a range of ways you can volunteer at our food bank:

• 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 - 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.
• Food bank coordinator - 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.
• Web editor - Our local website needs constant attention. Could your digital skills help communicate our message to a local and global audience? You will need to know a little about websites and ideally have experience of using Drupal (though training and support is available).
