We couldn’t do it without you

We're so truly grateful for every one of our amazing volunteers who, over the years have given their time, energy, knowledge and skills to help shape the Coexist Community Kitchen into the incredible space it is today.

​From preparing and distributing free weekly meals for people across Bristol to literally building the kitchen and then rebuilding it when we moved homes! The wonderful people who give their time are so integral to us, we couldn't do this without you.

​If you are interested in volunteering at the Coexist Community Kitchen, we'd love to hear from you! Just fill out the short form below and we'll be in touch.

NEW VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

Office heroes wanted!

Would you like to be part of the friendly team that keeps Coexist Community Kitchen running smoothly behind the scenes?

We’re looking for someone who’d enjoy giving a few hours a week to help with the everyday office tasks that support our catering service and community projects. This role is for someone who could commit to around 3 months or more of volunteering in this role. If things are going well (for you and for us), there’s the possibility to extend beyond that. We’ll also have regular check-ins to see how it’s going.

There’s plenty to get involved with, and we’ll happily shape the role around your skills and interests. Tasks might include things like:

  • Updating spreadsheets so we stay on top of key information

  • Gathering and collating feedback from our projects

  • Helping us improve our website so more people can find us

  • Doing desk-based research to support our fundraising grant applications or help promote our catering

You’ll be joining a welcoming team where every contribution helps us make a meaningful difference to people’s lives in Bristol.

“I volunteered at Coexist during a period of unemployment last year for their emergency food provision. It became a very special place where I formed some wonderful friendships. We’d spend the day cooking, chatting and laughing together and it became such a supportive environment through what could have been a really difficult time. Ari and Claudia have created a warm and loving environment for everyone. An experience I’ll never forget, especially the team lunches! And their food is amazing!!!”
