Here at Foundations, we collect furniture free of charge from local households in and around Tyne and Wear, and we bring it back to our charity shop in Gateshead for families and individuals that are struggling to afford items for their homes.
We are seeking volunteers that can help our friendly drivers to collect and deliver furniture and help in our showrooms and warehouses.
Activities include:-
- Helping to load and unload the van
- Moving furniture and household items to display areas
- Assisting the van driver with collections and deliveries
Our premises are in the heart of the Teams residential area of Gateshead. There are good transport links from Gateshead Town Centre or if driving, there is free car parking on-site.
"Knowing you are helping others while gaining something yourself through volunteering makes you feel good. Foundations has a welcoming and warm environment that volunteers can settled in to straight away" (Foundations Volunteer)

Learning New Skills: Whether it's DIY, helping on our van, or teamwork, volunteering can give you hands
