In Bristol 25% of children are living in poverty, in Lawrence Hill that increases to over 50%. St Luke's provide a hot nutritional meal and fun activities to children living on the estate. They like to fill bellies with nutritional food, laughter and fun!

St Luke’s are looking for people that can get involved in:

Supporting cooking a tasty nutritional meal for children who are experiencing holiday hunger. You’ll bring a positive energy to cook up a tasty feast to fill bellies and provide nutritional goodness to help children’s growth and development. This maybe chopping up vegetables, leading the kitchen team, help serving food, washing dishes or helping us to create inspiring meals.

Supporting games and activities for children who are experiencing holiday hunger. You’ll bring a positive energy to enthuse children to get involved in fun activities that bring them joy. This may be playing board games, sporting activities, treasure hunts, creative play, dance, drama, team games or just ensuring that there’s an assortment of play equipment for children to play with freely.

If you have:

  • A positive and practical attitude towards bringing a nutritional meal/fun to children

  • Previous experience of working in a kitchen or with children (preferred but not necessary)

  • Ability to work within and apply boundaries 

  • Reliable and punctual to attend the shifts committed to

  • Ability to be patient and understanding
