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 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.
Our foodbank sessions
We run three foodbank sessions a week, which provide food to over 15,000 people in crisis every year. We need volunteers who will be able to commit to regular volunteering at these sessions:
Tuesday 1.30-4.30pm, St Clement’s Church, Ashton Old Rd, Openshaw, M11 1HF
Thursday 9.30-1pm, Harpurhey Neighbourhood Project, Carisbrook St, Harpurhey, M9 5UX
Friday 9.30 -1pm, Brunswick Parish Church, Brunswick St, M13 9SX

If you would like to be involved with volunteering for us, please have a look through the volunteering roles we have available and read the volunteer role descriptions before you apply.
If you aren’t able volunteer in a foodbank session, we do also have some opportunities for you to get involved from home, in the evenings or at the weekend, which tend to be more ad-hoc. These may be donation drives, social media, specific projects and admin roles.
