We currently have the following volunteer opportunities:
Volunteer Donation Collector
At The Power of Resilience CIC we aim to reduce food and landfill waste while also helping individuals facing adverse circumstances.
We do this by adding fresh food, basic dry foods, and toiletries to our 3 community pantries located in Stalybridge and Hyde on a daily basis.
We collect a significant amount of these items from local companies and other groups.We are looking for people who can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, to join our volunteer team to collect donations and add them to our pantries. You will be required to use your own vehicle.
Volunteer Gardener
As a Volunteer Gardener with The Power of Resilience CIC, you’ll help maintain and develop our community garden spaces. Tasks include planting, weeding, watering, composting, and creating welcoming green areas for local residents.
There are many opportunities in this area and we have several projects running at the moment. We are working in Chadwick Dam, with Silversprings School in their community garden and in our own community allotment. We are also going to be rolling out community growing and cooking programmes across Tameside.
No experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn, get involved, and enjoy working outdoors as part of a friendly, supportive team. This role helps improve wellbeing, promotes sustainability, and strengthens community connections.
Volunteer Cook
We cook each Tuesday afternoon in our community kitchen at 2pm and serve a hot nutritious meal on a pay as you can basis for our community members at our 5 star rated community kitchen at Thompson Cross, Stalybridge.
We are always looking for cooks and for those willing to learn. We also need people to wash up, chat and generally keep our cooking area tidy, so if you fancy joining us for a few hours each Tuesday we’d love to hear from you.
If you’d like to volunteer with us please complete the volunteer form below and we’ll get in touch with you. Please note that the office is only manned two mornings a week and it may take a while to get back to you.
