FoodCycle is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to come and help cook for local families at risk of food poverty or social isolation.
Their core aims have always been to save surplus food, tackle food poverty and prevent loneliness, which they continue to do.
Throughout Covid-19 they have continued to support different communities across the country, offering a click and collect takeaway service where guests can come and collect nutritious, free meals.
The FoodCycle Projects have returned to community meals. These meals are open to anyone who would like one, no questions asked, whether they are looking for a natter or a good hot meal.
All their projects are run by amazing volunteers and they are looking for more to join their team.
Currently Active Volunteering Roles:
-

You can also be a Project Leader in each of these roles (cooking/hosting/food surplus).
