Van Driver

ROOTS WWV (Woman with a Van) is a scheme run by ROOTS HHFS Food Bank, a grassroots community group based in Bonnybridge, in conjunction with Falkirk Council. We help those moving forward from homelessness move into accommodation by offering the van to transport household items, and sourcing and collecting start up items for those who are moving with little to nothing. The scheme is Falkirk wide and referrals are made through Falkirk Council homelessness services. As the project continues to grow and we reach more people, we need help with managing the load! We are seeking a volunteer who can drive our van and help with the moves and collections. If you can help with the lifting and carrying then that's an added bonus too! This is a flexible role but many of the drives can be during the working week. If you have a full drivers license and are keen to get involved with this friendly and proactive group, then we'd love to hear from you!
