Volunteering

We are proud to have 23 dedicated teams that operate the soup run, ensuring that we provide support every day of the week. Each team follows a rota to ensure consistent coverage, and all of our work is made possible by the commitment of our amazing volunteers.

At the moment, we are looking for a Friday Night Team Leader to volunteer once every 4 weeks. The Team Leader will also need to drive, as part of the role involves transporting the  supplies.

We will soon be building a team of volunteers for this night and will be looking for  support in the following areas:

  • Sandwich makers;
  • Soup makers;
  • Hot drink ( Coffee/ Tea / Hot Chocolate)

Please note, all volunteers must be 18 years old or over.

Our work is not a traditional soup kitchen – we focus on providing support and essential services to those in need in a community-driven, outreach-style setting. The team serves in central Bristol, at two locations, from 9:15 pm to 10:15 pm.

If you're interested in volunteering or would like more information, please contact us at [email protected].

We look forward to hearing from you!
