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.
Volunteering at Oldham Foodbank
Our volunteers do a range of roles and tasks with us, including but not limited to collecting donations, delivering stock and food parcels, sorting and processing stock, office based/admin work and packing food parcels. Our volunteers will also manage social media, liaise with local businesses, and fundraise for us at events, community spaces, or workplaces. We encourage our volunteers to bring a passion for giving back to their local community, and we give the opportunity of building on existing skills or experiences, or even trying out something different whilst gaining new skills.
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.
