Surplus Surgery: Drop in. Scrub up. Sort it out.

Description:

Join us every Tuesday for an open session of hands-on volunteering, where we sort surplus fruit and vegetables to ensure nothing goes to waste!

Whether it's trimming leaves, separating good from bad, or simply sharing stories while working side-by-side, your help makes a real difference in getting fresh produce to where it's needed most.

No experience needed - just a pair of willing hands and a good attitude.

***This is a drop in session - while it would be great if you could be there at the beginning, coming along at ANY time in the session is fine***

What to Expect:

• A warm welcome and a quick intro at the start.
• Hands-on sorting and light prep of surplus produce.
• A friendly, relaxed environment with like-minded people. Plenty of time to relax during and after the session.
• Tea, coffee, fruit & veg (obviously!) & good vibes provided!

Details:

• When: Every Tuesday
• Time: 5:30pm meet for a 6pm - 8pm surgery
