Supported Volunteer

We want Supported Volunteers to be able to learn new skills, support the local community, and meet new people by volunteering with our Lalley Centres allotment and/or food pantry. All our Supported Volunteers must be supervised at all times by a support worker (who has an up to date DBS).

Food Provision:

Our food provision service at the Caritas Lalley Centre is changing. We are moving from a food bank service towards operating as a community pantry, offering discounted food to those who need it in a way which offers a more dignified service to the people we help. If you have time to give, we want you to help us provide this service to those in need, contributing in whatever way you can to provide a kind and efficient service to everyone.

Community allotment:

Also, the Lalley Community Allotment welcomes everybody to enjoy gardening, being outside and growing organic fruit and vegetables to supply our community store. We want you to help us keep the allotment thriving and producing locally grown, healthy and sustainable food. We'd also like you to help us welcome more people to enjoy the benefits of spending time outdoors, which is known to improve our mental and physical health. You can make a difference to the people and environment of Collyhurst by joining us regularly at the allotment, where your help will always be appreciated.
