Have any Questions?
Do I need to cook everyday?
I don't have WhatsApp will this be an issue?
Not at all, simply let your Area Coordinator know and they will make sure they keep in touch with any opportunities they think could be a good match for you.
What type of food do I need to cook?
Everyone has different tastes and we ask all those receiving meals if they have any dietary requirements and things they really like to eat when they sign up. However, the idea of Brighton Cooking Club is that you are making an extra portion, so hopefully you will find something that you both like to eat. Many of our cooks have commented on how they enjoy the challenge of cooking different things.
How does my extra portion get to the person I am cooking for?
Most volunteer cooks deliver the meals themselves. 9/10 the cooks and recipients live near to each other. In the event that a cook cannot deliver, the team coordinators will arrange transport.
