Volunteer with FareShare

Volunteering at FareShare provides the opportunity to be active and social in a friendly environment, whilst gaining skills such as route planning, organisation, and communication.

There will always be induction and training for any role you undertake, with full support and supervision from the Volunteer Manager.

You can gain warehouse management skills such as a Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene certificate, forklift training, food safety and manual handling if available at your site.

In addition, reasonable travel expenses and a free lunch will be provided and a work reference for those who have satisfactorily committed to at least 3 months.

Yes, you can! Apply for your preferred role and then let your Volunteer Manager know which additional roles you are interested in as part of your induction.

Some of our depots are operational on the weekends and evenings. Please use the map to see the operating hours for the site closest to you.

If you can’t do the full 4 hours a week, that’s okay, we’re grateful for any time that you’re able to give. However, please do let the Regional Volunteer Manager know what your preferred hours are, so they can fit you into the volunteer timetable.

Many of the charities and community groups we support are always looking for new volunteers. One of these may be closer to you than any of our depots. You can use the Community Hub (found here: https://doit.life/fareshare) to search and apply for these opportunities.

We are committed to embracing diversity and promoting equality and inclusion. As part of your application, you will be able to let us know of any health conditions or access needs that might impact your volunteering.

You can email us at volunteering@fareshare.org.uk.
