THE community cafe

Thursday Community Cafe @ Bristol Estate Community Room

On Thursdays we cook a community meal for 80-100 people, all using surplus ingredients. The regular volunteer roles are:

We aim to create an inclusive, warm and supportive environment. The easiest way for you to get a sense of what our Thursday operation is like is to come along, eat lunch and speak to one of the team.

To sign up to volunteer you can send an email with your availability to hello@sussexsurplus.org or come in to speak to one of the team

RESCUing surplus food / Gleaning

Throughout the year @ various locations across Sussex

Our volunteer teams help us to rescue tonnes of surplus produce, and redistribute it to the community food sector.

We coordinate the gleaning days, support volunteers with transport, and you can usually take home a delicious bag of fresh produce at the end of the day!

We also need Volunteer Drivers on an ad hoc basis to collect offers of surplus food. See role description for more information. Please drop us an email if this is something that you’d be willing and able to do.
