About Us

At Foundations, we collect furniture free of charge from local households in and around Tyne and Wear. We then provide it to families and individuals in need through our charity shop in Gateshead.

We are seeking volunteers to assist our friendly drivers with furniture collection and delivery, as well as help in our showrooms and warehouses.

Volunteer Activities

  • Helping load and unload the van
  • Moving furniture and household items to display areas
  • Assisting with collections and deliveries

Location Details

Our premises are located in the heart of the Teams residential area of Gateshead, with good transport links from Gateshead Town Centre and free on-site parking.

Why Volunteer?

\”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 settle into straight away.\” (Foundations Volunteer)

Skills Needed

Are you good at working as part of a team and care about the community? Lifting and moving furniture can be physically demanding, so good strength and fitness are beneficial but not essential.

Volunteer Benefits

Volunteering offers meaningful benefits, including:

  • Giving back to the community by helping families access affordable furniture
  • Building connections with diverse individuals and our team
  • Learning new skills such as DIY, teamwork, and van assistance

Please tell us why you are interested in this volunteering opportunity.
