This summer, The Vench is once again opening its doors to support local children and families — and we need your help to keep the kitchen running!
From Wednesday 23rd July to Tuesday 3rd September, we’ll be cooking up to 100+ hot, home-cooked meals a day to offer free food to the community. With staff capacity stretched thin, we're looking for passionate volunteers to help plan, prepare, and serve meals.
Volunteer Shifts:

10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

At The Vench Adventure Playground, Lockleaze
Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just keen to lend a hand, we’d love to have you on board. In return, you’ll receive:

A Level 2 Food Hygiene Qualification

Unlimited tea and coffee

And a real sense of pride knowing you’ve made a difference
Help us continue serving delicious, nutritious meals — and keep the community spirit cooking!
