Training

Training for volunteers can be accessed in a number of ways:

• Getting started – Induction and refresher training takes place in person, face to face every month and includes a warehouse tour and presentation. A generic version of the presentation is available from your recruitment lead. We encourage volunteers to book and attend the induction as soon as possible not only to receive important training for the role but also to meet other volunteers from other centres.
• Your first few sessions at a foodbank centre will be on the job training, shadowing/buddying.
