Passionate about making a difference to children and families?
As a volunteer at a school* you will have the chance to be part of a cooking or hosting team that produce a hearty two-course vegetarian meal using surplus food for children and their families to enjoy!
Without the amazing work of our thousands of volunteers across the country, FoodCycle simply wouldn’t be possible.
*Our school volunteer role is currently only available in London.
Our school projects launched in London and currently run at Ark Globe Academy (SE1) and Ark John Archer Academy (SW11). We hope to open more school community meals as soon as we can. Any updates about new openings will be shared on this page or you can sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know.
As a FoodCycle volunteer you will receive basic training in Food Safety, Health & Safety, and Safeguarding when you register. After registering, you will have access to a variety of free online resources and training via the FoodCycle volunteer portal, including mental health awareness and guides for serving nutritious meals and talking to guests.
We don’t look for minimum commitments, but we love it if you keep coming back! An average hosting slot is 4 hours. You can volunteer weekly, monthly or just when you have the time.
You don’t need any specific experience; we just want you to be enthusiastic about supporting your local community. We ask that you complete all the required training and follow all policies and procedures.
You can claim travel expenses, including mileage, in line with our volunteer policy.
All volunteers must be over the age of 18.
