Course assistant volunteers support our fun and dynamic Bags of Taste team.
Bags of Taste is focused on showing people how to cook tasty and nutritious meals for under £1 a portion.
Volunteers are central to the running of our sessions. It's a fantastic opportunity to join a small team, support the sessions and ensure that everyone goes away feeling more confident in their cooking.
We're looking for friendly and encouraging individuals, who enjoy their cooking and would like to get involved in an exciting new project for Tower Hamlets.
