To volunteer as a Cook the role requires individuals to be non-judgemental, empathetic, reliable and punctual.

The role is to cook the main meal for the night shelter residents (usually up to 10 people). They also help the staff in providing hot drinks / meals to those people rough sleeping. In addition, they help with the operational running of the shelter and support staff in the event of any difficulties. Our Cooks arrive at 6pm (5pm at weekends and Bank Holidays) and stay until the sleep-over volunteer arrives at around 9pm.
