We are FoodCycle, and our vision is to make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community.

We connect communities, reducing loneliness and food poverty – working with thousands of volunteers and surplus food to help everyone who needs us. By creating welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life to meet, eat and have conversations, we are supporting people’s health and mental wellbeing.

By cooking with surplus ingredients, we promote healthy, sustainable attitudes towards food and its impact on the environment, and help people to learn more about healthy food.

We aim to inspire greater change by sharing the impact of our community dining spaces and the voices of our guests to encourage more people to join and support FoodCycle, so we can help more people and more communities.

Do you love cooking? Do you love meeting new people?

We’re looking for volunteers who can join the cooking or hosting team at the FoodCycle Huddersfield Aspley project. The meal takes place on Monday evenings (different volunteer times for different roles) at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, Somerset Road, Aspley, Huddersfield, HD5 9AU.

Different volunteer roles:
