Do you want to help tackle food poverty through education, promote access to affordable, sustainable food through skillsharing, and help build community through shared meals? Then why not volunteer as a 'cookery buddy' at our Men’s Cookery Club!

This autumn we are running another course of our free cookery workshops for men in the Abbey ward of Cambridge. We are seeking volunteers who can use their skills and enthusiasm to help us build a supportive and welcoming environment for participants in this project, which is aimed at helping men gain confidence in the kitchen and connect over a communal meal.

You don't need to have any formal cooking experience, just a passion for tackling food injustice and building community through mutual aid. By volunteering you'll learn invaluable peer support skills while reaping the benefits of cooking and eating together with new friends.

As a cookery buddy you'll help set up and pack down cooking sessions, support participants with tasks such as chopping, peeling, and stirring as they prepare simple, nutritious meals, and contribute to creating a warm, sociable atmosphere. We'll provide all the briefing and support you need to feel confident and have a great time in this role! 

Sessions are held at the Abbey Cledara Stadium, on Wednesday mornings for 8 weeks from 2nd September-21st October. We would love to find some volunteers who can join us for the whole course - it makes a big difference both for the men taking part and for you as a volunteer when you can get to know and connect with each other over the weeks.
