Lend a hand to nourish your community this winter and spring!

National Food Service London cooks and delivers over 800 healthy meals a week to people in need of access to food in North Hackney. Volunteer with us to deliver food to your neighbours, cook community meals, set up community cafes, chat with people on our hotline from home and much more. Our roles are very flexible and take place on weekdays and weekends according to availability, and you can volunteer as much or as little as you like.


As an organisation, we currently have two primary points of contact with our community: via our hotline, and through our community deliveries. In addition to making deliveries, this role is about outreach and keeping in touch with members of our community who would otherwise be quite isolated. This part of the role is touching and rewarding. This is also quite an active role, as we deliver food and groceries within a 2-mile radius, either by bike or on foot, and occasionally where appropriate by car. Safeguarding is an important part of this role, so we provide safeguarding awareness training, and pay for volunteer DBS checks. This role is fulfilling, a great way to get some exercise and connect with your community.
