Volunteer with Bristol Soup Run Trust and Help Change Lives
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!
We are incredibly grateful for your desire to give your time and support to our mission.
Right now, we are lucky enough to have 24 teams of volunteers, and at the moment, every single one of these teams is full. We even have a small waiting list, which is absolutely fantastic.
Because of this wonderful level of support, we are temporarily pausing the intake of new front-line volunteer applications.
Consider joining us as a Trustee
If you still want to share your time and expertise with us, you might want to consider joining our board as a Trustee. We are always looking for committed individuals to help steer our charity, especially those with specific professional skills or experience in areas like finance, policy development, HR, or legal frameworks.
Above all else, the key requirements are your time, dedication, and a passion for our cause. If you would like to find out more about becoming a trustee, please head over to our contact page to get in touch with us directly.
