Van driver

Van drivers play a fundamental role in the running of the food bank, collecting food donations from a variety of locations across the local area as well as distributing the sorted donations from the warehouse to the local food bank centres.

Foodbank driver

You’ll play an important role in ensuring that emergency food boxes are transported to the right place, at the right time, for those in need in your community. You’ll have a passion for driving, being part of a team and be able to lift and load boxes of food.

Van Maintenance Volunteer

We need someone to take responsibility for the cleanliness and any minor maintenance issues of the foodbank van. Ideally this would be on a Monday or Friday afternoon when the van is not in use but there is an opportunity to be flexible.

Foodbank Fundraising Coordinator

As a Food bank fundraising coordinator you will help play an important role in the smooth running of the food bank. 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 the future. This role is part time during office hours but you may also be needed to attend evening or weekend fundraising events.

Foodbank Cleaner

We are looking for a Cleaner to take care of our facilities and carry out cleaning and basic maintenance duties. The goal is to keep our building in a safe, clean and orderly condition. Ideally this would take place on a Friday afternoon (or evening) but weekend working may be considered.

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.
