Opportunity description:

  Are you ready to make a difference and have some fun at the same time? Join us for the day and see for yourself, all the fabulous food we rescue; tremendous tomatoes, glorious gherkins, fragrant fennel, scrumptious salad, piquant pasta sauces and crunchy cereals. There’s a whole array of delicious food that would go to waste and get dumped into dreaded landfill, if we didn’t rescue it and repurpose it for our members.

You’ll be supporting our full-time teams to sort through that day’s produce, bagging it up for the community hubs taking place that day, then loading the vans that will be going out to visit the hubs.

Corporate Volunteer teams power our redistribution centres in Chilton, County Durham; Stoke-on-Trent and Manchester. Without them, we’d be lost.
