Important information

We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you.

work with adults with learning difficulties, as well as work with children, young people and
their families.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life, and their experience includes working with

whether that’s regular volunteering, one-off projects or using their skills to help us with
strategy or communications.

are completed, as well as tracking and recording volunteers’ training. To make this easier
you will help us implement the ‘Assemble’ volunteer management software across Newham
District Foodbank’s three partners.
