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.
Warehouse manager |
(Barking, Monday-Saturday, 2-3 days per week including 4 hours on Saturdays) As a Food bank warehouse manager you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth running of the food bank warehouse, supporting volunteers, coordinating activities and being the main point of contact for handling queries for the duration of the session as well as providing leadership to the volunteers at the warehouse. In this role you can make a real difference to both the people you serve and the volunteers you lead, ensuring a positive experience for all. |
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. |
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. |
Fundraising officer |
We are looking for someone to help us with funding applications to ensure we can maintain the work we do supporting our community. |
