The Rainbow Centre values diversity and encourages volunteers from all sections of the community.

You will need to be over 18 to volunteer with our client-facing services, but we sometimes have opportunities for under 18s too.

When you apply to volunteer we can tell you about the volunteering vacancies we have available and as a volunteer, you can choose something that meets the level of commitment you can afford to give.

We have a wide variety of volunteering opportunities across a range of services, so there is something for everyone.

• Rainbow Food Warehouse
• Homeless Support Service
• Rainbow Shop
• FoodStop
• Family Contact Centre
• Breakfast Club
• Shepway Foodbank
• Folkestone Churches Winter Shelter
• Money Matters
• Hythe Pantry

Depending on the service you volunteer for, you could be staffing our reception, handing out food to homeless people, serving in the shop, helping children with activities, sorting food, helping people follow a budget, or even making the tea!

All volunteering roles will require references and some also require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This will be completed at no cost to you.
