We are looking for local volunteer drivers (estate car or van) to help us transport our cookery equipment from Ham to our cookery locations primarily in Ham, Whitton and Twickenham.

We run regular cookery classes in a variety of locations in the borough. As a volunteer driver, you will be required to pick up our cookery equipment from Big Yellow Storage in Ham and transport it to the cookery class venues where our volunteers will help unload. You will then pick up the equipment after the class has finished and take it back to Big Yellow Storage in Ham. This equates to approximately half a day of your time 1 to 2 days per week. NB you will need to inform your motor insurance provider if you take on this role.

We are working with a wide variety of clients including adults who are living in food poverty and don't know how to cook; socially isolated people, families with children with additional needs; carers; refugees and many more. If you are keen to help us in our efforts to get people cooking fresh, affordable and healthy meals, then this is a great opportunity.
