Friends of Billington Lodge and Grange Park Volunteer Kitchen Assistant

This volunteering role supports a community kitchen that provides hot, nutritious meals to local people. As a Kitchen Assistant, you will help with preparing ingredients, support the kitchen lead during busy lunch services, wash dishes, clear work surfaces, and keep the kitchen clean, safe and tidy.

Stock rotation is also part of the role.

The opportunity is aimed at people who enjoy cooking, helping others and working as part of a busy team. No professional experience is needed, and volunteers should be reliable, friendly and willing to learn.

It is also well suited to people interested in community cafés or lunch clubs, food distribution, general helping, supporting charities, or befriending others.

Volunteers receive full training in food hygiene, ongoing support and access to an online learning provider for professional development. Expenses are reimbursed, and volunteers are covered by insurance. The time commitment is flexible, ideally 4-16 hours a week.
