Volunteer Cooks and Hosts
About organisation / project
FoodCycle combines surplus food, volunteers and free kitchen space to create nutritious, three-course meals for the community.
We have 4 main aims:
- To strengthen communities, by bringing people together around a healthy meal and creating opportunities to talk, exchange and build lasting relationships
- To encourage friendships, by creating spaces for people from all backgrounds and walks of life to have fun together, to share experiences and to meet new people.
- To improve nutrition and reduce hunger, by cooking healthy meals for those in need and sharing essential information on food and nutrition.
- To change attitudes towards food and to reduce food waste, by using surplus food and spreading our passion for food and the environment.

As a Cooking Volunteer you’ll join the kitchen team to help produce a three-course vegetarian meal using surplus food. You’ll contribute to recipe ideas, help with prepping the food, cooking the meal, and of course clearing up afterwards! You’ll be supported by a FoodCycle Project Leader, who will help you to develop your kitchen skills.
As a Hosting Volunteer you’ll be working with the rest of the hosting team to create a warm, welcoming environment for our guests. By serving our guests a free, delicious meal and sharing in conversation, you'll be helping to reduce hunger and loneliness in your community. You’ll be supported by a FoodCycle Project Leader, who will help you to develop your hosting skills.
You don’t need to have any previous experience – you just need to get stuck in!
