WANT TO BECOME A FOOD FRIENDS VOLUNTEER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO YOUR COMMUNITY?
We provide a flexible volunteering opportunity for people with busy lives. We ensure that our sign up process is quick and easy to fit around your hectic week. Once we receive your interest form, we will be in touch via email to get the ball rolling.
HOW IT WORKS
COOK
Do you cook too much? Rather than popping that spare meal in the bin, or freezing it with good intention, sign up as a volunteer cook and do something great with that plate!
SHARE
We will match you with a neighbour who enjoys the same type of food as you, who would benefit from your meal and a friendly doorstep chat. The majority of cooks share an extra portion of their home cooked food once a week. However, the volunteering role is flexible, with many volunteers delivering less frequently or more often.
CARE
A meal is more than just the ingredients on the plate, nourishment beyond nutrition – it is the provision of kindness and hope. As your food friendship grows you may find yourself having a chat over a cup of tea or sending a postcard whilst on holiday! We always ask that you let us know if you have any concerns or worries about your Food Friend. We are here to support you in your food friendship, from making sure that first meal delivery goes well to supporting you with any concerns you may have in the future.
