Our volunteer van drivers are vital to our operations. Drivers make sure our food gets delivered to schools, charities and community groups across the South West! Together with your driver’s mate, you’ll spend the day (9am – 4pm) out and about collecting and delivering food. You must be over 18, have a standard driving license and be happy driving (or learning to drive) a van. We’ll provide a full induction, training and support from our dedicated volunteer coordinators.

Volunteering here is a helpful way to spend my week now that I am retired. As a van driver I enjoy seeing the range of charities out there that FSSW delivers food to. The staff and other volunteers are very supportive here.Paul, Volunteer Driver
Our warehouse volunteers are at the heart of what we do. Our team is responsible for sorting, storing and recording the food we get delivered to our warehouse. They also assemble food orders for our charity members across the South West. Every day is different, and you’ll be part of a fun, welcoming team. There’s something for people of all abilities!

There is a great work environment at FareShare South West. Everyone - from top to bottom - is friendly. My responsibilities change every day I am here, and I enjoy representing a charity which supports our community.Safraz, FSSW Warehouse Volunteer

It's crazy the amount of food that is wasted, and this is such a simple concept of bringing it all together to redistribute. You can really see what goes on from start to finish.Libby, volunteer

Volunteering at FareShare South West offers me the opportunity to feel like part of a team, building a brighter future and helping others; with friendly faces and joviality it's been a joy every shift"Alys, Stores person
Are you good with words or an excel wizard? Would you love to volunteer but can’t commit to a warehouse shift? Our office-based teams including Membership, Communications and Fundraising often need support and would love to hear from you. Email info@faresharesouthwest.org.uk or Contact Us
It's brilliant to be able to use my skills to help a charity that's local to me and making a real impact. The team are friendly, flexible and super hard-working and I've learned loads from them over the last few months.Leah, Office Volunteer
Looking for ideas to engage your team? For Summer 2022, we’re calling on businesses in Bristol (and beyond) to help us Drive Out Hunger. As the region’s biggest food charity, we’re on a mission to find volunteer van drivers who can help collect and deliver good quality surplus food to charities across the region. And we need YOU to help spread the word. If you and your colleagues can spare half a day over the Summer holidays to help deliver flyers, put up posters and share our campaign, get in touch! Email volunteer@faresharesouthwest.org.uk to register your interest or click here to read more. Thank you!
I have to say I had no idea of the scale of the issue before I came in here to volunteer. I've learnt so much today. I couldn't believe the quality of the food - or that it would have otherwise gone to waste."Lucy, HSBC volunteering day
That’s enough for nearly 650,000,000 meals
For this week ONLY, @WiperAndTrue will donate £1 for every online order they receive. If ever there was an excuse to get beer delivered to your doorstep, this is it...
