How can you help?
At the Fitzherbert Community Hub we rely on local volunteers to make the project a success.
To become a volunteer, all you need is enthusiasm and a desire to help. You can choose how much time you give and we’ll give you all the training and support you need.
We welcome people from all nationalities and backgrounds. Our volunteers include job-seekers, retired workers, asylum seekers, full-time workers and students.
Whoever you are and however you choose to volunteer, you’ll be part of a supportive community coming together to transform East Brighton.
You’ll also learn useful skills, gain valuable work experience, meet new people, share your knowledge and make a real difference.

What people have to say
“One of the things we pride ourselves on is that we’re very welcoming, it’s a little bit like the corner shop. We know people’s name and we’re pleased to see them. They share their good news with us as well as the challenges they face which we do our best to respond to”
Anne Brookes, Volunteer, BTTC Food Hub
“I have had a difficult year with moving to a new city with no contacts during a pandemic and having no work. Without the food hub I honestly don’t know how I would have got through some very difficult months where I was eating so little because of budget issues that it was starting to cause some serious damage to my body. The volunteers and staff are always extremely friendly and make a point of getting to know you and treating you like a member of the community, I have huge difficulties in asking for help and am always anxious about seeking support but I am always put at ease when I arrive.”
User of BTTC Food Hub
“Seeing people in a church hall, eating something nice, and none of them are on their phone, it’s like something incredible, they are all chatting, from the street communities, to maybe a teacher or a lawyer…..they’re all chatting.”
Customer, Real Junk Food Project Pop-up Cafe
“You have got people who wouldn’t otherwise have an opportunity to meet each other and because they’re here and socialising together, really strong friendships are being formed across artificial barriers of race, class, age and everything else.”
