Volunteers
We are reliant on our wonderful group of volunteers who are the lifeblood of the charity. Our volunteers undertake all manner of tasks, from driving the vans, collecting and distributing the surplus, sorting and managing the warehouse, cleaning, van maintenance and more.
In 2018 we were awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. The MBE for volunteers. This was a wonderful recognition of the hard work done by our 100+ volunteers who collect, sort and deliver tonnes of surplus food every day.
