One thing we have in common is that we all have volunteers …
They are vital in providing our service and to keep the cost of the service at a workable level.
Here in Muswell Hill, everyone is a volunteer and we provide a hot three-course meal five evenings a week. We have a pool of about 60 volunteers working different rotas.
I would really like to know members’ experiences with volunteers across the UK and Europe
1. Do you have enough volunteers?
2. How long do they stay for? Six months, two years or more?
3. Do they get on the job training?
4. Give me three reasons why they volunteer at your centre.
Also, it would be great if this army of volunteers would carry Next Meal cards and promote it in your towns and cities, so please ask and we’ll get some to you!
