FoodCycle

Thinking about volunteering but not sure if you can commit?

Here's the thing: with FoodCycle, there's no minimum commitment. Just sign up, and volunteer whenever you're available.
Weekly, monthly, or just when life gives you a free afternoon.
We love it when volunteers keep coming back (and they usually do!), but we meet you where you are.

And it's not just about the time you give.

When you register as a FoodCycle volunteer, you'll receive training in Food Safety, Health & Safety, and Safeguarding. You'll also get access to a range of free online resources through our volunteer portal, including mental health awareness and guides for serving nutritious meals and connecting with guests.

Skills you can carry with you, whether that's into other volunteering or your career.

Fun, flexible, and good for you too. What's not to love?

On Sunday, we brought together volunteers and Project leaders from across London and the Southeast, where we celebrated achievements and discussed how we can keep supporting our guests, plate by plate, chat by chat.

A special thanks to our corporate partner Wagamama for hosting their ‘moments that matter’ session, EdCity for hosting us in their beautiful venue, COOK for donating some delicious treats and to The Gleaners Café, who cooked up a tasty lunch.

Days like this remind us exactly what FoodCycle is all about. Not just the meals, but the people behind them.

No one should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from.

This World Hunger Day, we’re sharing the words of our guests, who explain what access to a free, nutritious FoodCycle meal means to them.

For some, it means having a proper meal at the end of the day. For others, it means trying new foods, learning more about cooking, or feeling able to eat well more often.

The meals we create help reduce hunger and improve nutrition in local communities. If you’d like to support this work, a donation to FoodCycle can help us continue sharing good food with people across our communities.

The weather might have been a bit grey recently, but these meals certainly weren’t ☀️

We love seeing the incredible dishes our volunteers create each week, so we thought we’d share a few from the FoodCycle Feed.

If you’re a FoodCycle volunteer, don’t forget to share your meal photos on the Feed through the volunteer site. We love seeing what you’ve been cooking, and your photos help us celebrate the brilliant work happening across our projects every week.
