Volunteering at The Trussell Trust Foodbank

Volunteering at the Foodbank by sorting food donations.

Aims

Understanding food poverty. Sorting and organsing donations. 

Background

We were approached by them for Harvest donations and started working with them on a weekly basis afterwards.

Resources

Our girls walk to the Foodbank. They sort donations and use boxes already at the centre. We donate food items monthly. 

Impact

Food is organised so families have the right items. More families have access to food and toiletries as we donate every month. We are helping reduce food poverty locally. 

Pupil Involvement

Our Sixth Form students, aged between sixteen and eighteen, are involved in this opportunity.

Frequency

Girls volunteer on a weekly basis and thus they are able to build strong relationships with staff.
