Volunteer

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

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.

We have two types of volunteers:

Warehouse volunteers

They help to collect, weigh, sort and store donated food and make food parcels for clients to collect at the Foodbank Centre. This is vital work to ensure we have the right food available at all times.

Foodbank Centre volunteers

They 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.

Currently we’re operating a waiting list for both types of volunteers, but please feel free to contact us and we’re happy to add you to it. You can write an email to [email protected]
