We’re looking for a few friendly volunteer drivers and driver’s mates to help keep good food moving from our Newcastle and Middlesbrough warehouses to community organisations across the region.
This role is flexible and designed to fit around your week. Most shifts are 2–3 hours, vans are provided, and you’ll be fully supported by our warehouse team. You don’t need to commit every week – even one regular shift makes a real difference.
Volunteering as a driver is a practical way to:
- Help stop good food from going to waste
- Reduce environmental impact
- Be part of a welcoming, down-to-earth team
If you’ve got a driving licence (or you’re happy to support as a driver’s mate) and a bit of time to spare, we’d love to hear from you. Come in for a cuppa and a chat, then a ride-along in a van to see what we’re about.
Interested? Get in touch at [email protected] for a chat or to come along for a no-obligation visit.
