Volunteer with us

Our volunteers help us to provide food and practical support to people left without enough money to live on, as well as serving at our pantries, campaigning for change and helping to run our advice service.

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.

At both branches, we have wonderful teams of volunteers, and it is fun and stimulating to work amongst them at the food bank/ pantry, serving our clients whilst they are in crisis.

We would like to encourage applications from under-represented groups to help us have team members that represent the make-up of our clients – people who consider themselves to be non-white, those with lived experience of poverty or using a food bank, those who are still of working age/ have children still in primary/ secondary education.

Vacancies at Bexhill

Bexhill Driver

We are seeking volunteers who'd like to drive our van to collect donations, make deliveries and generally move stock around to keep our charity going. You might head to the shop to buy stocks for our food parcels, or help move food from one site to another and then unpack it. Each shift can be slightly different.

We normally need drivers on weekday mornings, and you can be flexible in the days you offer and how often you drive. Ideally, we are looking for drivers to do one or two shifts most weeks (an average driving shift is probably about 3 hours).

Currently, our drivers like to do their journeys solo, but we are very open to there being a driver's mate, and this might mean two friends, or a husband/ wife team would work well.
