Rayon Wallace Helping Hand CIC – Warm Space / Food Bank

Our organisation supports people experiencing homelessness, vulnerability, and financial hardship by providing regular meals, food bank services, and community activities throughout the year.

Each week, we provide around

Our organisation supports people experiencing homelessness, vulnerability, and financial hardship by providing regular meals, food bank services, and community activities throughout the year.

Each week, we provide around 100 hot meals to people in need and operate food banks twice a week, supporting more than 40 people at each session. We also run a monthly Elders’ Luncheon Club, host an annual Christmas meal and celebration, and provide gifts to help make the festive season special for those who may otherwise go without.

Our Warm Space offers a safe and welcoming environment where people can come in from the streets, enjoy a hot, nutritious meal, and access tea, coffee, and refreshments. For many of our attendees, these sessions provide not only practical support but also valuable companionship and community connection.

We are looking for caring and reliable volunteers to help us continue delivering these vital services.

Volunteer Duties May Include:

• Helping to prepare and cook meals for service users
• Assisting in the kitchen with food preparation and cleaning
• Serving food and refreshments during meal sessions
• Preparing and distributing food bank parcels
• Supporting the delivery of food bank sessions
• Assisting at the monthly Elders’ Luncheon Club
• Helping to organise and deliver the annual Christmas meal and celebration
• Providing a warm welcome and friendly conversation to attendees

• A willingness to work as part of a team
• Reliability and a positive approach to helping others
• Good communication skills
• An interest in supporting people within the local community

No previous experience is required, and volunteers of all backgrounds are welcome.
