The volunteering groups takes full ownership of the community kitchen during their session! When you arrive at 10:30am, you will be introduced to the kitchen and invited to plan and cook a healthy three-course vegetarian meal consisting of a starter, main dish, and a dessert. The ingredients will be provided from locally sourced, surplus, fresh produce.

Afterwards, your team will serve your masterpiece to the members of the local community from 1:00pm. The volunteering session is expected to finish around 3:00pm.

All ages are welcome, however if you are under the age of 18, please contact the organiser for more information.
