Gardener

FoodBox is a local community project where everyone is a volunteer. We understand that whilst emergency food can’t solve poverty it can provide a lifeline while other issues in people’s lives are addressed.  Some of our volunteers were once helped by FoodBox to get them through difficult times and now volunteer so that they can help others.

If you’d like to help Martha maintain our vegetable and flower garden situated at the Brickfield Community Centre, or our dedicated allotment plot at the Chiswick Horticultural & Allotments Society, we’re always looking for green fingers. The FoodBox garden and plot in Chiswick allow us to grow fresh organic fruit and vegetables to include in our food parcels.

What skills do I need?

We are inclusive and open to anyone who shares our values of making a positive impact on our community.  Volunteers often find the experience enriching and it can help to build their own confidence.  There’s always an opportunity to learn new skills and share your own skills with others.

If you like being in a friendly, empathetic and professional environment where everyone is committed to providing the best service and your voice can be heard, why not join FoodBox? You’ll receive an induction and training to help you prepare for volunteering.  Everyone gives their time freely to FoodBox but we will reimburse your expenses incurred while volunteering.
