Detailed description
Would you enjoy sharing your love of cooking and getting people started in their cooking journey? We support a group of people who like to try new things and we know they would enjoy learning some basic cooking skills!
Activities will include:
• Planning a cooking session
• Shopping for the ingredients (the cost can be reclaimed)
• Clearly communicating the simple steps in a recipe
• Encouraging people to have a go and celebrating the successes!
• Motivating the group to clean up at the end of the session
Activities will NOT include: Personal care, medication or financial assistance. If you'd like to volunteer with us or find out more before you apply, please get in touch!
Our volunteers play a vital role in our work and in return, we support them with: • Free certificated training (with access to 800 plus courses) • Free membership to an online shopping discount scheme • Comprehensive support from professional, friendly and trained Discovery staff • Agreed travel expenses reimbursed • An opportunity to gain real experience in the social care sector
