Supermarket Collection Volunteer

Join us as a Supermarket Collection Volunteer and help support local people in crisis. Collections run during the week, and each session is led by a Team Leader with a full briefing provided.

You can choose dates that suit you — from a couple of hours a month to more regular volunteering. You’ll approach customers with a shopping list, invite them to donate key items, then sort donations for delivery to the food bank.

Your friendly, positive approach will help maximise donations and raise awareness in your community.

Fundraising Volunteer

Fundraising is a brilliant way to support local people in crisis - and there are so many ways to get involved. You might take on your own sponsored challenge, join one of our community fundraising activities, or help us run events that bring people together.

We’re always looking for enthusiastic people who can help plan and deliver fundraising events, especially outside office hours. Activities like quizzes, raffles and other creative ideas make a real difference and help raise vital funds.

If you’d like to support our fundraising events, have a brilliant idea you want to bring to life, or need help setting up your own fundraiser, please get in touch, email info@bradfordnorth.foodbank.org.uk.

Trustee Board

Trustees are responsible for overseeing the work of our foodbank, setting our overall vision and strategy and ensuring that our team are supported to carry it out. Trustees ensure that the charity, and its representatives, function within the legal and regulatory framework of the sector and in line with the organisation's governing document, continually striving for best practice in governance, and determining the overall direction and development of the charity through good governance and clear strategic planning. They do this in a way that adds to public confidence and trust in the charity and its reputation.

Currently, we do not have any trustee opportunities available, however, you are welcome to register your interest in becoming a trustee by emailing trustees@bradfordnorth.foodbank.org.uk
