Volunteer with us
Big Breakfast Plus receives no statutory or local authority funding and is reliant on volunteers to continue the work we do. We are always looking for new volunteers to help us run our breakfast shifts, raise our profile at events, fundraise for us and collect food.
We are incredibly grateful to all of the wonderful volunteers who have supported our service over the years. You will be joining a dynamic team dedicated to providing breakfast with a difference.
If you are interested in volunteering, we would love to hear from you. Please complete the form below and a member of the team will be in touch for an informal chat.
Volunteer Roles
Breakfast shift
Breakfast Shift volunteers help to run our breakfast shift. This includes taking orders, making hot drinks, supporting the cook, serving breakfasts to guests and clearing tables after the guests are done. Volunteers also provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for our guests, and are encouraged to sit with guests throughout the shift to get to know them, hear their stories and help them feel at ease.
Events
Events volunteers work as part of a team to raise Big Breakfast Plus’s profile at fundraising and awareness-raising events. This involves acting as the ‘face’ of Big Breakfast Plus, telling people about the work that we do, encouraging donations, running fun activities on the stall (e.g. tombola, lucky dip etc.), and attracting potential volunteers. Events take place in and around the Swindon area.
Fundraising
Show your support for Big Breakfast Plus by hosting or taking part in a fundraising event. Cook up a breakfast fundraising feast with a big group of friends, or lace-up your trainers and take part in a sponsored run. There are so many ways to have fun and raise vital funds for Big Breakfast Plus. Let us know what you’re interested in doing, and we’ll see how we can support and promote you.
