Volunteering opportunities
Food
For All cannot run without volunteers. So we welcome
anyone who would like to help keep it alive. It only takes a few people
to help out for a couple of hours each week and the shop can continue
to run at its best. And there are lots of other opportunities for volunteering.
The
kinds of things Food For All needs volunteers for include:
· General
shop work
· Bagging up and pricing goods
· Running outreach stalls across the area to improve access for some groups
(eg older people). The outreach stalls are basically a smaller, portable version
of the shop offering the same health foods to more people in various communal
venues.
· Management committee members
· Fundraising
· Publicity and information
If you haven’t been a volunteer before, don’t worry. Food
For All can give
support and training for all volunteers. We could help you to get a Certificate
in Basic
Food Hygiene to work in the shop or find training on being a management committee
member. We can also offer general shop training and valuable work experience,
which could help in future when you look for other jobs.
