Volunteer with us.
Thirty-three people already do. A couple of hours here and there is genuinely enough.
Why volunteer with us
Everything we put on is run by volunteers. The lunches are not brought in: they are cooked from scratch that morning, two courses, by people who then clear up afterwards and work to food hygiene regulations while they do it. The Tuesday groups run because somebody sets the room out, puts the teas on and explains the game to whoever is new.
You do not need experience and you do not need to commit to a rota that runs your life. Most of our volunteers do one session, and the people they do it for look forward to it all week.
Current volunteer roles
Pick whichever fits around what you already do.
Lunch club volunteer
Cook a two-course lunch from scratch, all home-cooked, serve it, and help clear up afterwards. You will be working to food hygiene regulations, and we will make sure you know what that means before you start.

Register your interestHow it works
Nothing formal. A conversation, then a first session alongside somebody who knows the ropes.
Get in touch
Fill in the form below or ring the office. A couple of lines is all we need.
A chat
An informal conversation about what you fancy doing and when you are free. No interview.
Come and see
Sit in on a session before you commit to anything, so you know what you are saying yes to.
Get started
Start alongside someone who has done it a while. Nobody is thrown in on their own.
