Saturday Community Lunch - Volunteers Needed

Can you help at our Saturday Community Lunch? We are recruiting volunteers to help with food preparation and cooking from 10am-12pm. Adults and families with children aged 8+ are very welcome to come and help.

You will help the community chef in creating healthy, nutritious meals in the morning starting at 10am for two hours. Afterwards you can sit down and enjoy eating the meal with other local families and individuals.

The Community Lunch provides a hot, free and substantial meal for those in need of food.

If you are interested in volunteering could you please register at reception, so we can co-ordinate the day.

Join us for a free community lunch from 12.30pm to 1.30pm and meet the community.
