We are currently looking for volunteers to help us in our Stoke warehouse. The warehouse is where the food arrives, and is sorted before it arrives at the hub. It is a busy environment, and you’d be working alongside the TBBT team. To volunteer for the warehouse, you would need to be 18 years old or older.
Volunteering at the warehouse would include:
- Packing bags for the hubs.
- Organising stock, and ensuring food is stored correctly and at the right temperature.
- Keeping the warehouse tidy, and helping with recycling.
- Helping to load the vans.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must be resident in the UK and living in Stoke, or within easy commuting distance of our base, in order to volunteer with us. We are unable to offer sponsorship for overseas applicants.
