One of the services we provide is to supply a FREE FOOD table at Project Colt and we try to stock it regularly with FREE FOOD. The food is donated by local shops and supermarkets and usually has a short shelf life but is still good to eat.
The table is by the entrance door to Project Colt. Please help yourself to up to 4 items.
If you would like to speak to one of our team members please make an appointment via email or phone.
Open today | 09:00 – 17:00 |
Would you like to join our team? We cook on Mondays from 9 am to 2 pm, splitting the day into two shifts. The work includes food preparation, cooking, washing up, and general kitchen duties. Each week, we prepare about 100-150 meals for local families. These are traditional meals like stews, casseroles, pasta, and savoury one-pot dishes, designed to be easily reheated. If you're interested, even for one Monday a month, please get in touch!
If cooking isn’t your thing, you can help with delivery work. We need three drivers each week to deliver meals and shopping bags to local primary schools, where parents collect them. This takes about 30-45 minutes, and you will need to provide a copy of your driving licence and current insurance certificate. Mileage expenses can be claimed, and we can arrange for you to have an Enhanced DBS Certificate.
Another key part of our work is using surplus food. If you hate waste, this might be perfect for you! We collect surplus food from supermarkets daily. The food is brought back to our kitchen, sorted, and used for cooking, the free food table, soups, jams ,and chutneys. This takes 1-2 hours in the morning, and mileage expenses can be claimed.
You will receive a full induction and the chance to join a friendly team, helping to reduce food waste and provide healthy meals for local families in HX4 and HX5. Please fill out the form or call us at 07471 527511 for more information.
