I started volunteering at Food Works Sharrow almost two years ago, after working in the health service for 36 years. Before that, I worked in hospitality and always enjoyed being around people.
My sister-in-law told me about Food Works and the great work they were doing, so I decided to join the team. What I love is that you can choose when and where you volunteer. The people I’ve met are so friendly and supportive, and it feels good to be part of something that makes a real difference in the community.

I’d recommend it to anyone – whether you want to volunteer or just come along and enjoy our creative and tasty lunches (different every single day!). I’ve met some wonderful people here and it’s been a really worthwhile experience.
