Why become a ‘Friend Of’? 

To help us combat poverty and prevent homelessness across Greater Manchester – As a reliable and committed ‘Friend Of’ Mustard Tree, you will be part of the solutions, learning and support on which our service users depend.

You can make a tangible difference – You will see at first hand how your skills and commitment can impact positively on the lives of our service users.

Your contribution is vital! – Your ongoing reliability and skills will help us continue to offer activities which support the wellbeing of our service users.

Volunteering as a Mustard Tree ‘Friend Of’ usually takes two forms:

1. Supporting our day-to-day, immediate services. These are usually front facing, people orientated roles where you help solve a problem or provide a service there and then; volunteering in our Food Club, Community Shop, Reception, Helpdesk and Warehouse. Typically, these roles run Monday to Saturday, from 8:45am until 2:30pm.

2. Leading or supporting a class, club or activity. Our current activities timetable can be found here. Mustard Tree is always looking for talented and passionate people, who want to be a key part of our offer. The positions are typically one to three hours a week, every week.

These roles are equally vital to the running of Mustard Tree; often, Friends Of will fit one type of role or the other but sometimes are able to volunteer for both types of work.
