Other ways to help

Without volunteers, food banks in the Trussell Trust network simply wouldn't exist. Give your time, or arrange a collection for you local food bank, and help them continue their vital work. 

Volunteer for the Trussell Trust

Every individual Kier employee can apply for two volunteer days per year, which may be taken together or separately. By using a Kier volunteer day you can help to make a real difference in the fight against poverty. Click here for the Kier volunteer policy.

 

Individual volunteering

It's easy to get involved with volunteering for the Trussell Trust. Simply search for your nearest food bank, and contact them to find out how you can help out. If you are using a volunteering day to do this, you can find out more about how to do this here.

Arrange a food collection 

Trussell Trust food banks only exist thanks to public donations of items, and volunteer time. It's really simple to arrange a collection; contact your local food bank to find out the items they are most in need of and then get collecting! 

Once you are ready to arrange to deliver your items, ensure you contact the food bank to arrange a convenient time to drop them off. Don't forget to get in touch with us at the Kier foundation, and let us know the value of your collection.

"I'm just writing to say a really big thank you for the lovely donation that was brought in to the foodbank on Monday from Kier.  It was so generous of you - thank you so much for your thoughtfulness in organising all that and bringing it in. It was exactly the sort of food that we need!"
