Community Canteens

Our Canteens bring the community together as volunteers cook a delicious and nutritious meal, using surplus food. This happens in three locations, each week.

​

The canteens improve well-being while developing a stronger sense of community, particularly for those who are socially isolated. Everyone is welcome, and we get a mix of ages, as well as vulnerable groups, including those affected by addiction, mental health concerns, low or no-income parents, asylum seekers, and the unemployed.

​

While our canteens bring people together to enjoy a meal without the stigma of receiving a handout, 79% of attendees said they returned to socialise with people they met there and friendships have continued outside of the meal.

​

Details for each canteen are below. If you would like to volunteer to cook with us, you find more information here.
