I’ve learnt a great deal about alternatives to the meat oriented dishes I was accustomed to eating and also about healthy eating and basic kitchen skills such as how to cut properly with a knife. Cycling in Hackney to deliver meals helped me get more familiar with the area and feel connected to my local community. I’ve enjoyed meeting people with different perspectives. There’s also been a lot of creative insights into how MIH works and the lovely community that provides such a positive experience. I’d say it’s pretty hard not to make new friends here if you get involved.

"Volunteering gives me a purpose after retiring"
‘I enjoy spending time with the lovely chefs and volunteers. I have learnt that there are so many different ways to prepare nutritious plant-based meals. It’s rewarding to know that I have helped to prepare food for so many people in need. It is also great for my own wellbeing as I come away from the sessions feeling like I have spent the day with friends.The MIH team are fantastic! They put their hearts into everything they do. They are so warm and welcoming and are very appreciative of the volunteers. MIH is a lifeline for the community, but also for people like myself who are looking for a purpose after retiring’
