Volunteers also help with administration and take on special projects.
Reception volunteers play a very important role. They greet our volunteers, answer phones, monitor and respond to emails and update our databases.
These volunteers are the face of FareShare and it is therefore important that they enjoy interacting with people and have a friendly and flexible disposition.
We also welcome skilled volunteers such as graphic designers, fundraisers, web developers and data experts.
Daytime Monday – Friday.
Why volunteers love being part of FareShare
“I feel I am supporting an excellent cause, helping others and enjoying myself - win, win, win!”
"The kitchens are so well organised and when you leave at the end of the shift you realise how many meals you have helped make and how much food has been saved from landfill."
"I chose the kitchen gardens to help develop my skills in growing food. My aim is to use the skills and knowledge I gain at FareShare to help communities in remote areas become self-sufficient."
“You never know what’s around the corner in life. To be able to offer some support to people in need gives me confidence that if I am in need, there are amazingly kind people in our community to offer support and assistance.”
"I am passionate about minimising waste and about helping people less fortunate than myself, so Fareshare gives me the opportunity to do both."
