Community Made cooking is to ease food access needs for participants and local food banks. Volunteers and participants cook 200 food portions together for the wider community that also includes the participants to take home for the week. The rest of the meals will be delivered to local community food banks, families needing more food access and support, and members who are not physically mobile.

The whole kitchen team will be supportive to learn and develop together, while not in a teaching class mode. You will learn new skills to cook for more people.
Depending on timings , there will be a brief break for lunch and rest together, at the discretion of the head chef.

Key Tasks
• Help teacher to setup the kitchen for community cooking participants.
• Assist with washing and chopping vegetables and preparing meals with participants.
• Assist with washing up and cleaning kitchen.
