VOLUNTEERING

We are now open for new volunteers! We are very grateful for the support of all of our wonderful volunteers, as the Soup Kitchen could not run without them.

Our shifts run Tuesdays 5pm - 8.30pm and Sundays 10.30am - 2.30pm, and you can volunteer for half or full shifts. We do ask for a regular commitment from our volunteers, but that doesn’t mean every week. We ask people to come for 1 full shift or 2 half shifts a month to stay connected and involved (roughly 4.5 - 5 hours / month).

When you are volunteering on a shift, there are a variety of different roles you can do, including cooking a delicious hot meal, preparing the food bank orders, washing up (those saucepans won’t clean themselves!), taking orders and interacting with our guests. If cooking during the shift isn’t enough for you, you could also make a pudding at home and drop it off during the shift. Home baking is always highly appreciated.

If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact volunteering@stjohnskitchen.org.uk.
