​Safeguarding
Our cookery school works with different communities across Newcastle Upon Tyne and across the region.
Volunteering with us can therefore include working with children, families, young people and vulnerable adults, as well as the general public.
As such, our volunteers must have a non-judgemental attitude to supporting people of all ages and from all backgrounds, with compassion and understanding of differing needs of different people.
Furthermore, we ask that our volunteers have no current personal circumstances that might make them unsuitable or unsafe for volunteering with the people in the classes or events they may be matched to.
