Norwood & Brixton Foodbank could do with some more volunteer drivers to fill lots of gaps, if you’re interested in driving each week or even more ad-hoc.
It takes a 1-2 hours each shift, usually doing 3-4 drops around the Streatham, Brixton, Norwood, Stockwell areas. You just drop at the door, it’s easy. Does involve some lifting of course.

You can do one shift or more, it’s very flexible.

When lockdown hit operations moved to delivery service rather than drop in and continue that way as lots of people we serve are in the vulnerable category, health & safety etc. Sadly demand is going up as the economic affects hit.

Days needed are Mon-Fri, daytimes. There’s also the odd supermarket collection pick up too.

If you can forward this onto anyone you know who might be interested.

Let Johanna know if you’re interested volunteer@norwoodbrixton.foodbank.org.uk.

Thank you!
