Volunteering opportunities

Current volunteering opportunities

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Genesis Trust.  We can’t do what we do without volunteers.  Our current volunteer needs are below.

Lifeline Volunteer at our Gateway Centre

Lifeline is a day centre providing crisis support for people who are homeless, vulnerably housed or experiencing complex challenges such as financial insecurity, mental ill-health and substance misuse. We provide food, clothing, small household items, access to a shower and laundry facilities, phones and IT and much more.

We are looking for a volunteer who can help our visitors feel welcomed and provide a listening ear to them. Having a friendly chat over a cup of tea/coffee is so important to the people that use our centre and we are reliant upon our amazing volunteers to help create this atmosphere. You will also help keep the space welcoming and inviting, helping with general tidying, clearing used coffee mugs etc.

Genesis Life Projects Food Collection Volunteer

Genesis Life Projects includes Lifeline, Life Skills, Life Connect, Life Recovery and Life Thrive.

We are often offered free food from local shops and businesses. This free food needs collecting and delivering to our Gateway Centre. We need a volunteer to collect food at an agreed time and deliver to the Gateway Centre, and then to help unpack and store it as needed. You will need your own transport and you will need to check that your car insurance covers for business use. Genesis will cover your mileage costs and support you with any extra cost to your car insurance that may incur upgrading to business use.

Furniture Shop Warehouse Assistant

One of the ways that we fund our work is through sales of donated furniture on our online shop. Every piece of furniture sold goes to support the charitable work of Genesis Trust.

We have the opportunity for a volunteer warehouse assistant to join our supportive team. This role requires a regular commitment. You’ll be out at our warehouse near Keynsham, assisting our furniture manager to keep everything running smoothly.
