Residential Children's Project - Kitchen Crew

What You'll Do: 

Our Kitchen Crew volunteers ensure that our adventures are possible by creating nutritious meals for the children, running cooking workshops for the young people and you also have the option to go out on the activities too! You’ll spend your days singing along to the radio whilst you food prep with the other Kitchen Crew team members, going for walks to pick flowers to decorate the tables or just generally helping out with things around the site. Once the young people get back from their activities, they’ll be ready to devour biscuits as they tell you all about their day and try to convince you to go for a quick bounce on the bouncy castle with them…

Why You'll Love It: 

You’re also the project fairies who organise little treats for the other volunteers (like hidden chocolates or a sneaky portion of brownies for the evening) - you’ll be given a budget for this and can decide what you want to do with your Kitchen Crew teammates.

What You'll Learn: 

You will gain full training in working with children and safeguarding. You’ll gain confidence, make a huge difference to the lives of these children and meet some incredible other like-minded volunteers.

 

What We're Looking For: 

We are looking for kind, empathetic and energetic individuals to help us on our projects. 

All we ask is for you to have an open heart and a willingness to go on adventures with some amazing young people, at a minimum of 1 week per year.
