We're Hiring!
FoodCycle tackles real problems with practical solutions in a creative, fun and self-empowering way. The idea is simple but the effects are great and far reaching.
Only having cooked their first meal back in May 2009, FoodCycle’s volunteer-led hubs have spanned to 14 locations across the country. We have served over 20,000 meals for people in need, and have diverted thousands of tonnes of food from the bin.
Following from the award winning success of the hubs (Best New Charity 2010 and Big Society Awards 2011), FoodCycle is now improving its community café in Bromley-By-Bow with the aim of making it sustainable and a project that improves the employment opportunities of volunteers in the local area.
Come on this amazing journey with us!
