Volunteering

We work with community organisations, and resident groups on various projects, including gardening, environmental and projects for young people.

We support four food aid organisations that are based in Lewisham council managed estates:

Evelyn Community Store (Evelyn Community Centre), Feed the Hill Social Supermarket (New Cross Road), Sydenham Community Supermarket (Kelvin Grove) and Rehoboth Community Outreach Club (Hazel Grove).

They provide weekly food and other necessities for those facing financial difficulties. They accomplish this by organising regular food collection days for residents and by delivering food packages to those unable to attend.

These food organisations are always in need of volunteers. Your support, even if it’s only for a couple of hours, can make a difference. Volunteer tasks include transporting surplus food and making deliveries, sorting surplus food on-site, and helping members during shopping days. A regular car or cargo bike is sufficient for deliveries, no need for a van. Everyone has a role to play, and we value your input.

If you’re interested in volunteering but can’t commit to supporting the food stores, contact us. We’ll work together to identify your interests and any training necessary.
