Meet & Eat Group Volunteer Co-facilitator - Mid Sussex

A bit about the role: The Meet and Eat Group aims to provide an opportunity for our residents to meet, prepare food and eat together. The volunteer will be there help residents follow recipes, measure out ingredients and then to cook the food before eating together and chatting about what the group have made. The residents will be expected to contribute to the clearing and washing up at the end of the meal.

What will I be doing?

Some residents may need one to one support at points during the group. The volunteer will need to be someone who understands that this is a fully co-produced* programme which has been initiated, named, and planned for by clients and that the group itself will be encouraged to participate fully in every part of the process including creating the menu.

A volunteer with an interest in cooking is great but not necessary, but a willingness to allow clients to engage as fully as possible and not to do ‘for’ but ‘with’ them is really key.
