Without our incredible volunteers we simply wouldn’t be able to do what we do, and the many people facing hardship wouldn’t get the support they need.

What does volunteering with Trussell involve?

We are committed to providing positive, valued and accessible volunteering opportunities. These cover volunteering roles in food banks and within our corporate teams:

In food banks volunteers make a difference in the local community across a range of roles, including boosting donations, packing food parcels, providing a warm welcome, tackling loneliness, signposting to additional services, connecting with partners, raising awareness and leading projects.

Home-based volunteers support teams with administrative support, project management and development, as well as through awareness-raising opportunities such as being a Time for Trussell volunteer.
