Community Development (Fareshare Food Collection Driver, The Base Service, Whitley Bay)

Barnardo’s is committed to providing ‘Better Outcomes for More Children’. Our children’s services volunteers help the charity to deliver essential services in local communities, providing support to over 300,000 children, young people and their families. This role provides a great opportunity to join our fantastic children’s services and help make a real difference.

Fareshare Food Collection Drivers are responsible for collecting Fareshare donations from supermarkets at designated times and delivering them to the Base in Whitley Bay. Food is then distributed by the team at the Base to vulnerable young people. This volunteer role does not involve any contact with young people.

Volunteers will need to have access to suitable transport in order to do this role. We are looking for volunteers who are reliable and punctual, as supermarket collections must be made on certain days at certain times.
