Volunteer Food Bank Assistant

The weekly food bank at BWC provides a crucial service to women and families during times of financial crisis or hardship. To ensure that we can open the food bank every week we rely on a team of dedicated volunteers, whose role it is to welcome clients, support them to get the items that they need, and have an informal chat to discuss their situation then signpost to further support if needed.

•  have an interest in ending food poverty;
•  uphold and work within the intersectional feminist ethos of BWC;
•  be in a position to commit to volunteering once a week for at least 12 months, both during term times and half terms.
