Wednesday or Saturday Evening/daytime Cooking at Hackney Night Shelter

Hackney Doorways

You did not enter a postcode in the search, or the postcode for this role is unknown.

Volunteers are vital to the work we do supporting people experiencing homelessness in Hackney. We have a great need at the moment for cooks here at the moment and are looking for volunteers to prepare evening meals for our guests at the shelter.

We need people who can give a Wednesday evening to cook and serve a hearty, comforting meal at the shelter.

You can cook on site here in our fully equipped kitchen; come in at any time in the morning or afternoon before an evening shift to start cooking, and cook here in the staff kitchen. But you can also start cooking at 5 or 6pm, and stick around with the other volunteers and serve dinner, and eat with the guests. Alternatively, of course you can cook at home anytime you like and then bring the food in.

We serve dinner between at 7 - 8 pm, and the volunteer shift ends at 10pm. It's a massive help to us if you can cook and volunteer/stick around so if your able to- that’s fab!

Don't worry if you can’t cook, as we have a big need for non-cooking volunteers at the shelter at the moment and if you could spare any time on weekday evenings or weekends to help prepare or serve food and help with the general running of the shelter that would be fabulous. Please see our 'Shelter Volunteer' role to find out more.

Catering,Community Work,General and Helping

Ability to get along with just about anybody, to be kind and friendly, and to put together a nice meal for the guests!

A truly rewarding experience, a chance to really make a difference to some of the most vulnerable in society by providing an essential meal at the shelter in the evening. Connect with like-minded people in your area.

Commit to a regular weekly, bi-weekly or monthly cooking slot that would be great!
