Leadership and Volunteer Opportunities
We have some specific roles available in our communities. Get in touch if you’d like to know more.
All Bellyful volunteers must be Police vetted. Find out more on our Become A Volunteer page.
Branch Coordinator – Bellyful Franklin
Our amazing longtime Bellyful Franklin Branch Coordinator is ready for a well-deserved break and we are looking for the next leader of our founding branch. We need someone keen to connect with the community, who has a big heart for whānau with babies and young children who need support.
• Have some time to give others
You will get a fabulous handover and training period from our current Branch Coordinator, who is happy to walk alongside you as you learn the role.
Email [email protected] if you are interested
Branch Coordinators – Bellyful Hamilton
We’re looking for two amazing volunteers to share the role of Branch Coordinator for Bellyful Hamilton. Could this be you?
Our Branch Coordinators come from all walks of life—some work full- or part-time, others are retired, and some are parents at home looking for a way to contribute and develop new skills. You’ll share responsibilities with a co-coordinator and be supported by a strong team, including Cookathon and Delivery Coordinators, as well as guidance from Bellyful NZ.
This is a flexible, work-from-home volunteer role, and you don’t need prior Bellyful experience—we’ll provide training and ongoing support.
If you’re based in Hamilton and want to be part of a trusted, well-organised charity, we’d love to hear from you!
Recipient Coordinators – Bellyful Hamilton
Do you have a big heart and some time to spare? We are looking for two people to share the Bellyful Hamilton Recipient Coordinator position. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Jacqui Stanford.
Social Media Coordinator – Bellyful Hibiscus Coast
We need a social media volunteer to help keep our branch Facebook page fun, engaging and informative. This role only takes an hour or so a week, maybe more if there is an event or special fundraiser happening. You get as much support as you need, you just require a bit of social media nous and the ability to write punchy words / an eye for good visuals.
Interested? Email our Branch Coordinator Janet Hope on [email protected]
Various Roles – Bellyful Hawke’s Bay
Our Bellyful Hawke’s Bay branch is busy and growing and we need to expand our volunteer team. We have some roles we would love to fill:
- Fundraising Coordinator
- Co-Cookathon Coordinator
If you are interested email Aliesha Gordon. Find out more about some of our volunteer roles here.
Recipient Coordinator/s – Bellyful Porirua
We are looking for a Recipient Coordinator, or two, for our Bellyful Porirua branch.
Recipient Coordinators are often the first contact a whānau will have with Bellyful. They work with Delivery Volunteers to ensure our meals arrive where they are needed and in a timely manner. You need to be well-organised and have a big heart.
Cookathon Coordinator – Bellyful Porirua
Bellyful Porirua would love someone to help plan and run our Cookathons. You do not need to be a Masterchef, just well-organised with a bit of time to spare each month.
Delivery Volunteers – Bellyful Porirua
Delivery volunteers are the face of Bellyful. You get to collect and deliver our frozen meals to the whānau who need them. All you need is a vehicle (or even a bike would work), a driver’s licence, the ability to find your way around your community – and of course a friendly face!
The time commitment for a delivery volunteer is entirely up to you and what you can give.
Cookathon Volunteers – Bellyful Wellington North
Love to cook? We’d love a few more volunteers to join our Cookathons. We’re fun, friendly and welcoming.
If you are interested get in touch with our Branch Coordinator Mel Bradley.
Branch Leaders – Bellyful Wellington South
We have a brilliant team of volunteers who help us cook and deliver meals. We’d love some help to bolster our leadership team. If you would like to help run our branch, please get in touch.
Interested? Email our Branch Coordinator Wendy Lindsay

Bellyful is a vibrant charity and this is a fantastic volunteer role supporting an incredible team. Many of our Branch Coordinators work full or part-time, some are retired or semi-retired, and others are parents at home looking for a way to utilise their skills or develop new skills.

How do I know if being a Branch Coordinator is for me?
Do you like organising, making things hum, or are you a whiz at managing projects and people stuff?
Our Branch Coordinators are people who:
- Love supporting and encouraging awesome volunteers
- Enjoy making a real difference in your local community
- Prefer to be part of an established charity that is well organised, known and trusted
- Have some time to give others
Many of our Branch Coordinators work full or part time, some are retired or semi-retired, others are parents at home looking for a way to utilise their skills or develop new skills. The role involves recruiting, training and managing volunteers within your branch and ensuring all aspects of the branch are running smoothly. Each Bellyful branch has a core team of awesome volunteers, including people in key roles such as Cookathon and Delivery Coordinators.
Our Branch Coordinators work from home at times that suit their work and whānau commitments.
You don’t need to have been involved with Bellyful before – we give you great support. You’ll also get plenty of back-up from the fabulous branch volunteers, Bellyful NZ management and other Bellyful branches.
