Surplus Surgery: Drop in. Scrub up. Sort it out.
About this Event
Description:
Join us every Tuesday for an open session of hands-on volunteering, where we sort surplus fruit and vegetables to ensure nothing goes to waste!
Whether it's trimming leaves, separating good from bad, or simply sharing stories while working side-by-side, your help makes a real difference in getting fresh produce to where it's needed most.
No experience needed - just a pair of willing hands and a good attitude.
***This is a drop in session - while it would be great if you could be there at the beginning, coming along at ANY time in the session is fine***
What to Expect:
- A warm welcome and a quick intro at the start.
- Hands-on sorting and light prep of surplus produce.
- A friendly, relaxed environment with like-minded people. Plenty of time to relax during and after the session.
- Tea, coffee, fruit & veg (obviously!) & good vibes provided!
