FareShare Greater Manchester is looking for volunteer Driver's Assistants to join our busy friendly delivery team with redistributing tonnes of surplus food a month to charities and community initiatives across Greater Manchester.
FareShare is a national charity fighting food poverty and global warming by tackling food surplus. We source overstocked food from retailers and manufacturers and engage many volunteers to help re-distribute it to over 220 frontline charities and community groups across Greater Manchester. These groups, in turn, provide meals to vulnerable people experiencing food poverty, individuals who are homeless, families, and people who are unemployed or socially isolated. This food would otherwise have gone to waste, so we are simultaneously supporting people in need and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Key responsibilities

Loading and unloading the vehicle and carrying out a range of tasks, from basic vehicle checks to delivery administration.
The required skills and attributes are:
-
Reliability and ability to commit to pre-agreed volunteer shifts (ESSENTIAL)
-
Physical fitness, to take on moving and handling of food orders
-
Ability to follow procedures and instructions
-
Good verbal communication skills
-
Interest in the work of FareShare Greater Manchester and our values
-
High respect for Health & Safety procedures and standards
In return you will gain:
Career and CV advice and support
A reference for future employers
Reimbursement of travel and lunch expenses
The opportunity to give practical help to fight food poverty and reduce food waste (and associated CO2 emissions)
The opportunity to meet like-minded people and make new friends
Our operating hours are Monday - Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.
Driver and Driver’s Assistant shifts begin at 8:30am.
We welcome volunteers who can commit to one day a week.
The days and rota hours of volunteering are agreed around your availability.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must be resident in the UK and living in Greater Manchester, or within easy commuting distance of our base, in order to volunteer with us. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Whether you’re a jobseeker interested in a career in construction or woodwork, a student or recent college graduate seeking experience, or just someone with spare time on your hands, wanting to do something positive and meet new people, volunteering with the Touch Wood project at EMERGE 3Rs may be just the ticket!
Touch Wood is a wood recycling and upcycling initiative, which collects surplus and waste wood and timber and gives it a new lease of life, preventing it from being burned, chipped, or dumped in landfill.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
* Preparing wood for resale
* Assisting with the construction of wooden products, from small household items to pieces of furniture
Our Touch Wood volunteers are able to gain skills in practical woodworking, as we offer hands-on experience of working with reclaimed timber; from making basic lumber products ready for resale, through to assisting with the creation of bespoke items, such as kitchen equipment and home and garden furniture.
Full training in woodworking and health and safety is provided, along with Personal Protection Equipment.
The UK generates around 5 million tonnes of wood waste every year, but less than 1% is reused. Touch Wood rescues waste timber that would otherwise be landfilled or turned into woodchip; creating jobs and training opportunities for disadvantaged local people at the same time. We collect from construction sites, industrial estates and other commercial sources, reclaiming everything from pallets to indoor cycle tracks – you name it, we take it! Anything we can’t reuse is locally recycled, so nothing goes to waste. This reduces the carbon emissions associated with disposing of waste wood, offers cost savings for DIY enthusiasts, and provides training and job potential to volunteers in the workshop. Some of the timber we work with comes from high profile sources, including the entire track of the Manchester Velodrome cycling centre and wood removed in the recent refurbishment of Manchester’s historic Town Hall!
Our skilled team of staff and volunteers often use reclaimed timber to create beautiful and practical products, such as home and garden furniture. We regularly create bespoke pieces to order; some of it for famous clients like Olympic cycling champions Jason and Laura Kenny, for whom we made a table from the Manchester Velodrome track.
Please be advised that our volunteers require a fair level of physical fitness and manual dexterity as the role is entirely practical.
Our Touch Wood workshop and wood store is open Mon-Fri, 8.30am - 4pm.
We occupy a unit at Maynard House, inside New Smithfield Market, in Openshaw, North Manchester, which is accessed from the main entrance on Whitworth Street East (off Ashton Old Road). The site is served well by buses, and we have free parking onsite, as well as secure storage racks for pushbikes.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must be resident in the UK and living in Greater Manchester, or within easy commuting distance of our base, in order to volunteer with us. There are no exceptions to this rule.

We aim to become an Accredited Museum and to significantly improve the look and feel of the museum, and to become well known in the sport of Badminton.
What will you be doing?
We are looking for a number of additional Trustees to actively participate in the achievement of the strategy. We are looking for skills in fundraising, museum operations, financial overview, web and social media, and ideally but not necessarily deep seated knowledge of the sport.
What are we looking for?
Fundraising, museum operations, financial experience, some with a deep knowledge of the sport of Badminton.
What difference will you make?
They will actively participate in the strategic plan, taking leadership in their field of expertise. Its an exciting time for the Museum and will be for the new and existing Trustees. Gaining accreditation itself is a multi-year project involving the creation of policies, and best practice museum processes. Gaining enough funding is a crucial part of the strategy, as is animation of the museum, and significantly improving the public awareness of the museum.

Join our Board
We're looking to expand our Board of Directors as we embark on our new four-year strategy.
About Us
Just Treatment organises patients to overcome corporate power and win equitable, universal access to the quality healthcare we all deserve. We work with people directly affected by health injustice and support them to step up into leadership roles, steering human story-centred campaigns that win systemic reforms. As we embark on an ambitious new four year strategy, we want to build on our powerful track record and evolve our proven theory of change so we can keep delivering winning patient-led campaigns in an increasingly hostile political, social, and economic context. Vital to realising our new strategic goals is the expansion of our board to add in diverse expertise, capacity, and support for our brilliant team at this exciting and challenging time for our work.
Purpose of the role
The purpose of the Board of Directors is to provide leadership, guidance, checks and balances on the structure and operation of the organisation.
The Board of Directors:
● Fulfils the duties and responsibilities of Company Directors
● Advises on and approves strategic plans, annual roadmaps, and budgets, and any changes to these
● Identifies any risks to the organisation and advises on these
● Advises on and approves organisational policies and commitments, including grant and commercial agreements
● Advises on and approves organisational structure, including the structure and composition of the Board and any other Boards and Committees it deems necessary
● Provides oversight on the Executive Director, including their appointment, performance reviews, remuneration decisions, and delegated powers
“Our dedicated Directors form a great team that I love being a part of. We really care about the work and staff team, and we're keen to add value through our expertise as well as being eager and open to learning. Through mutual respect and listening to each other our meetings and interactions are really fruitful. I know I get a lot out of being part of this team and the opportunity to support the great work of Just Treatment.” Adina Claire, Chair
“We’re very excited to be adding new Directors to our young board. So many of our rights are currently under attack, it feels incredibly important to be part of a team working intersectionally on the fight to secure health justice for all. As we’re launching into our next four year strategy we need to build our board to create a team that can help us meet this moment. The leadership of people with lived experience of the injustices we’re battling is central to our approach so we’re particularly keen to hear from people who have been personally impacted by the issues we work on.” Diarmaid McDonald, Executive Director
The Practicalities
Time commitment:
We have four full board meetings per year. Three of these are online and last for two hours, and one longer full day meeting is in person (likely in London. All costs will be covered). Directors are expected to attend these, and come prepared, having read all board papers in advance.
We have additional committees such as Finance and Governance, and Directors will be expected to join a committee. There may be other events that Directors are invited to attend, and other opportunities to get involved.
We also expect that Directors will provide ad hoc support based on their expertise and available time. We estimate the time commitment to be up to half a day per month.
What qualities should our board members have?
Our Board members are diverse while all having:
● Alignment with Just Treatment’s values
● Commitment to Just Treatment's mission
Our Board includes people who have:
● lived experience of the issues we work on
● experience leading and growing non-profit organisations in the UK, including leading their strategy and planning cycles, and fundraising efforts

We are looking specifically to appoint up to three more Directors, and are seeking expertise in the following areas to add to our board:

People and Ops - such as safeguarding, HR policy and law, good practice and people development, progressive and anti-oppressive practice.
Accessibility
We encourage applications from people who are disabled or who face other oppressions or barriers. As a health justice organisation we encourage people with lived experience to join us. We also recognise the barriers that have traditionally stopped some people from getting involved with boards. Whilst this is an unpaid post, we will cover expenses such as travel or care costs that you may incur as a board member. We will also work with you to make this recruitment process as accessible as possible.
Patient-led campaigning to win everyone the healthcare they need by demanding patients and the NHS are put before profits.
