Current opportunities

Driver – If you own a vehicle, and you and that vehicle meet our specifications, then you can deliver food parcels to people in need, collect donations from supermarkets, and various other collection points. For this role you will need to confirm that:

• You have a full driving licence, no bans or convictions.
• Your car is registered, insured and taxed; has a current MOT certificate (if your vehicle needs one); is roadworthy.
• Your car insurance covers you while volunteering (insurers who have signed up to ABI’s volunteer driving – motor insurance commitment do not charge an extra premium but you may need to notify them – check here).
• You are willing to undergo a basic DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check.

Administrator – If you like talking to and organising people directly, a FoodBox administrator role could be perfect for you. It ranges from contacting people referred to FoodBox (checking their requirements and what to expect from a food parcel) to working with the members of the team (co-ordinating rotas, recruiting and training, and utilising your skills to support and develop FoodBox.)

Driving Buddy - You will buddy up with a driver on an agreed set morning each week to help deliver food parcels to people in need. Your support will greatly assist our dedicated volunteer drivers, whose work is admirable, as well as supporting the mission of the FoodBox.

Gardener – If you’d like to help Martha maintain our vegetable and flower garden situated at the Brickfield Community Centre, or our dedicated allotment plot at the Chiswick Horticultural & Allotments Society, we’re always looking for green fingers. The FoodBox garden and plot in Chiswick allow us to grow fresh organic fruit and vegetables to include in our food parcels.
