Foodbank Telephone Support Volunteer

Chichester District Foodbank

Chichester District Foodbank supports communities across our district, including Petworth and Midhurst. In these rural areas, people receive their food parcels by delivery rather than visiting a food bank in person. This role ensures they still feel connected, valued and supported through regular phone contact.

As a Telephone Support Volunteer, you will be the friendly voice who checks in with people, talks through their food needs and allergies, and has caring conversations about how they are managing. You will also help identify local support services that could make a real difference — such as financial guidance, benefits advice or help with essential household costs. 

What skills do I need?

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable using computers, a good listener, and motivated by helping others.
