Our Volunteers
Our Medical Transport Volunteers
We have a team of around 30 drivers who are willing to take people to hospital and medical appointments. They have all undertaken a DBS check.
Our Lunch Club Volunteers
We have four teams working on a rota basis - so they only work one week in four - often less due to bank holidays.
The Cooks - Each team has one cook who is responsible for setting the menu and purchasing the food - the cost is reimbursed. The cook works with the team of helpers to prepare and serve the meals. We usually have around 30 members each week.
The Helpers - work with the cook to prepare and serve the meals e.g. peeling vegetables, washing up etc. They also ensure every member has a cup or tea or coffee, and biscuits before the meal is ready to be serves.
Quote from one helper: I have been helping in the kitchen for around three years now. I find our members fascinating to talk to - they all have so many different life stories and I know that they all really appreciate coming to the Lunch Club. It really is a worthwhile thing to do.
