Volunteering at Ace

You can make a difference where it really counts

Typically, 180 people come to Ace each day for food, but we’re also here to help in other ways. If you get chatting to someone, you might be the only person to ask how they’re doing this month.

What you'll be doing

Food prep

Someone chopping vegetables

In the run up to lunch there are vegetables to be chopped, takeaway bags to be stocked and tables to be prepared.

Welcoming

Two people talking over a cup of tea

Our guests often aren’t treated as people in their everyday lives, so we do our best to make sure everyone feels valued and respected.

Washing up

Someone washing up

Our dishwasher is in constant use over the lunch period and needs to be loaded and unloaded, whilst some items need to be washed manually.

Cleaning

Someone cleaning a kitchen surface

Our kitchen has a five star hygiene rating thanks to our diligent volunteers working under our friendly head chef. There are also showers, toilets and the dining room to take care of.

Serving food

Food being dished out

We offer several choices of meal each day, all dished out by our volunteers. If you’ve never worked in a kitchen before, don’t worry. Our friendly head chef will show you the ropes.

Other help

A washing machine containing laundry

We do more than just food. Sometimes you may need to help out with laundry, distributing toiletries or another of the services we provide.
