This volunteering role is within our Peony team. Building a new life in the community can be difficult. Launched in 2018, Peony is for women who are moving away from crisis. With peer support and dedicated staff, women are building self-esteem and working towards their goals of freedom and independence. It’s central to One25’s vision to see marginalized women move from crisis to community.

The volunteer cook’s role is to come to Peony to cook a delicious meal for the women and to help create a warm, friendly, and safe space for the women that access the project. The shifts are on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11:30 – 13:30. This is a semi-frontline role, where you will be in the same space as the women, and welcome to join everyone for lunch once you have finished cooking. 

We ask volunteers to commit to one shift per month as part of their volunteering role, and encourage volunteers to commit to a year of volunteering. Our volunteers receive access to a brilliant free training programme as part of their role.

Our next induction morning for Peony cooks is running on Friday 10th March from 09:30 - 13:00.
