At FoodCycle we pride ourselves on being a diverse organisation. We welcome volunteers and guests from all backgrounds and walks of life.

The success of our organisation depends on the people we work with, and we recognise that recruiting volunteers and individuals from a range of backgrounds creates a workforce with a wealth of experience, where creativity and valuing difference in others thrives.

This helps us to:

– anticipate and meet the needs of all our guests

– recruit, retain and develop the best people

– act responsibly in the communities of which we are a part

We offer guidance for FoodCycle staff around delivering inclusive volunteering, including how to recruit and support volunteers; equality and diversity training; undertaking accessibility audits of premises; and where to improve knowledge around particular health conditions.

Our guidance follows the principles within our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy.
