🌟 Volunteers wanted: could you give a few hours to your community?

Could you spare a few hours to help people in your local community?

At Hart Foodbank, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. From sorting and organising donations to preparing food parcels and supporting our services, volunteers make it possible for us to be there for local people when they need us most.

We’re always keen to hear from people who would like to get involved – and you don’t need to have previous foodbank or charity experience.

💚 There are lots of ways to get involved

Volunteering with us isn’t just about one particular role. There are many different ways you can contribute, depending on your interests, skills and the amount of time you have available.

You could help with:

📦 Sorting and organising donations
Help us sort incoming food and essential items, check dates and organise donations so they’re ready to be used.

🥫 Preparing food parcels
Help select and pack food and other essentials for people and families referred to Hart Foodbank.

🤝 Supporting our services
Volunteers help create a friendly and welcoming environment for people accessing our support.

🚚 Helping with collections and deliveries
There are opportunities to help with the movement of donations between collection points and our facilities.

💻 Administration and other skills
If you have particular skills or experience, there may be other ways you can support our work, including administrative or practical tasks.

🌟 What can volunteering offer you?

Volunteering isn’t only about what you can give – it can also be a rewarding experience for you.

It can be a great way to:

• Meet new people and become part of your local community
• Make a genuine difference to people experiencing financial hardship
• Learn new skills and gain valuable experience
• Use skills and experience you already have
• Build confidence and try something new
• Enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped someone

And sometimes, it’s simply about being part of a team and doing something positive together.

🕐 You don’t need to give up all your free time

We understand that everyone has different commitments. You may have work, family responsibilities or other things that keep you busy.

That’s why we’d encourage anyone interested in volunteering to get in touch and find out what’s available. Even a few hours can make a difference.

You don’t have to be an expert, and you don’t need to know exactly what you’d like to do before you contact us. We can talk to you about the opportunities available and find something that suits you.

Could you give a few hours? We’d love to hear from you. 💚
