Volunteer Driver:
NOVAS is very fortunate to be part of the Foodcloud Programme. Each evening we benefit from donations of unsold food at various Tesco’s around the country. These donations are collected by a team of volunteers and dropped to a designated service. This team are also called upon from time to time to carry out ad hoc driving requirements. Applicants for this role must have a full clean driving licence and be over 25 years of age. Apply Here.
Volunteer Fundraiser:
Fundraising for NOVAS helps us to raise vital funds to enhance and develop our services. On different occasions throughout the year, we require volunteers to help organise events, participate in street collections and coordinate volunteers. The fundraising team is available to support you along the way. Apply Here
