At the Centre, OsNosh are creating a convenient and accessible meeting point for local people to learn more about healthy food: how to source it, grow it, cook it, and enjoy it. We are also working to prevent food waste.

Each week we serve delicious and vibrant hot meals for our local community at our Community Cafe, using surplus food collected from local supermarkets.

We are in need of volunteers to help in the storeroom, sorting surplus food, weighing and recording food, organising the storeroom, and keeping the area clean and tidy.
