Volunteers

We have a team of approx. 70 incredible volunteers who assist with regular weekly Food Is Free Laneway shifts approximately 30 mins per session. Duties carried out ensure the health & safety of all our visitors, and tasks include disposing of perished food into our compost system, general tidying, greeting visitors, watering our plants, and other gardening tasks.

Three volunteers take care of the Laneway daily, 365 days of the year. This makes it very well attended, so all our visitors can enjoy their time spent with us, plus be greeted by a friendly face for a chat whilst they are on duty.

Don’t know much about gardening? No worries – as an all-inclusive group we encourage all levels, all ages, all backgrounds Plus, you can learn new skills as you go! Full training and induction provided to all our volunteers.

Community groups/schools/businesses/families encouraged to discuss group volunteering options also.
