HEY Smile Foundation have been working with Hull What's On to create a super series of volunteer videos!

We are excited to share these case study videos as: Hull What’s On and Time2Volunteer films, sponsored by HEY Smile Foundation, Hull CVS, Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

To find out more about how Time2Volunteer can help your organisation to celebrate and recruit volunteers, or how to start volunteering with amazing groups and charities, please browse volunteer opportunities or contact us!

Hull What's On went along to chat with some of the volunteers at the East Yorkshire Foodbank, part of the Trussell Trust network tackling food poverty and hunger in our local community and beyond. 

The East Yorkshire Foodbank opened in May 2016, and have been aiding local people in crisis ever since.

With the help of selfless donors and volunteers, they gave out enough food to make 98,000 meals in 2022 and 23.

Hull What's On had a chat with a few members in the team, and it was great to hear how much they cared about helping others in need, and how fulfilled and rewarded they felt for contributing.

The East Yorkshire Foodbank is just one of the amazing community projects in Hull & East Yorkshire that wouldn't happen without our community champions.
