Volunteers pick up unsold food waste from cafes on the UCL campus (like Gordon's, Print Room, Student Centre) and transport it to our local charity partners, St Mungo's and Life After Hummus. Both are within walking distance but we also reimburse transport costs if needed. Volunteers are asked to complete a short training and your first shift will be with an existing volunteer. After that, you are free to sign up and run collection shifts alone whenever works for you!
Our volunteering takes place on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in the afternoon/evening, with shifts lasting half an hour to one hour each within the timeframe of 3:30pm-8.30pm. If you are interested in joining us, please click on the 'expression of interest' button at the top of the sign up page!
You can also contact us by email if you have any further questions: [email protected]
Volunteers will be in charge of collecting surplus food from UCL cafes around their closing time and delivering the food to our partners on foot.
Shift instructions will be provided in the format of text and infographics.
