By joining us for the summer you’ll gain an understanding of different aspects of local project delivery for a national charity and the varied ingredients that go into making each of our meals happen. You’ll be hands-on and have an immediate impact each day, leading small teams of volunteers who cook in the kitchen and host our guests to create a positive and welcoming environment and a nutritious vegetarian meal. Our meals projects take place during the day, in the evenings and at weekends, so we need you to be flexible. We anticipate you’ll be supporting 3 meals per week on average, with around 5 hours required per meal.

You’ll be supported by our experienced operational team and we will equip you with a package of training and shadowing, including specific training around food and to do with our diverse guest base, some of whom are vulnerable people. Depending on the level of need, there might also be capacity to get you involved in tasks relating to volunteer recruitment, guest outreach and sourcing food surplus.
