Volunteer Drivers and Assistance - Meals on Wheels

This opportunity takes place between 17 Mar 2020 and 10 Apr 2020 Applications closed on 10 Apr.

We require a number of additional volunteers to help transport and deliver hot meals to housebound, vulnerable and elderly clients. Demand has increased due to the current Covid-19 situation and we are in need of more drivers (age 30+) and delivery supporters (age 18+). Drivers require a full, clean driving licence. Expenses paid.

Due to the increased demand on hot meal delivery, due to our elderly clients self isolating during the current Covid-19 situation, we need help to deliver to the isolated across Stoke-on-Trent.

A number of our usual volunteers are over 70 years of age, and are currently unable to assist due to being advised to self isolate themselves.

Many of our clients are reliant on the meal delivery service to ensure adequate nutrition and to support their mental and emotional wellbeing. 

Drivers require a full, clean driving licence, and need to be aged 30+.

Delivery assistants need to be age 18+.

Thank you for your understanding.
