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.

Current Volunteer Roles Required

We are committed to ensuring anybody visiting a food bank is welcomed, valued and treated with dignity. Volunteers take time to share a warm drink, discuss fodd requirements, offer a listening ear and, when appropriate, signpost people for further support and help. This role is focused on ensuring that the signposting information held by the food bank is relevant, comprehensive and up to date. It makes a valuable contribution to ensuring that people coming to a food bank feel cared for and supported.

Fundraising Coordinator

This role is focused on maximising the funds raised by the food bank, and through it promoting our message and goals. This valuable role will ensure the food bank has a strong fundraising foundation, that will help shape how it operates now and in he future.

Village Outreach Ambassador

This role involves liaising with local communities and rural villages to increase accessibility and knowledge of the local food bank centre in line with strategic goals as well as promoting the culture and values of a Trussell Trust Foodbank. You will report to the Food bank Project Manager.

Helping at a foodbank centre
