About FoodCycle
We are FoodCycle, and our vision is to make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community.
We connect communities, reducing loneliness and food poverty by creating welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life to meet, eat and have great conversations.
Each Project is run by a team of lead volunteers called Project Leaders, who ensure the smooth running of the FoodCycle meal each week.
Skills you'll learn:
✓ Teamwork: you’ll work as part of a team to prep the venue, serve a delicious meal, and clear up afterwards.
✓ Rapport building: you'll build meaningful connections with guests, ensuring they come back each week.
✓ Hosting: you’ll support front of house duties, serving food and demonstrating good customer service skills.
✓ Adaptability: every FoodCycle meal is different and you will learn to think on your feet!
What to expect from FoodCycle:
✓ Ongoing support and advice from a FoodCycle Project Leader during every session.
✓ Expenses, including mileage, covered in line with our volunteer policy.
✓ Free online training modules, including food safety and allergens.
✓ The opportunity to take on additional tasks/responsibilities.
✓ Important skills to add to your CV and a reference if/when you need it.
✓ The opportunity to meet a community of like-minded people.
✓ A fun, creative volunteer experience within a community-led Project.
What’s expected from me:
✓ Have bags of enthusiasm!
✓ Follow all FoodCycle policies and procedures – including the volunteer agreement.
✓ Follow all training you receive when registering with us.
✓ Support FoodCycle to fulfil its mission of nourishing communities with food and conversation.
Time commitment
Give as much as you feel! It is easy to volunteer with FoodCycle and we don’t look for minimum commitments, but we love it if you keep coming back.
