Are you a campaigner, fundraiser, carpenter, plumber, up-cycler, tech person, PR, photographer, filmmaker, copy writer, designer or artisan food maker? Want to offer your services pro-bono to a worthwhile local cause where you can really see its impact? Then why not get in touch with MIH to see how you can contribute to the Made In Hackney local food mission.
Do you like meeting people? Working outside? Being at a market or festival? We'd love you to join our team of Events Volunteers to help us set up and run a Made in Hackney Information stand at markets, shows, fun days and festivals. These may include Stoke Newington Farmers Market, Broadway Market, VegFest, The Restaurant Show, Woodberry Downs Estate Summer fair and many others.
You will need to be a good organiser, confident to deal with the public and happy to work independently with other volunteers, sometimes taking the responsibility to set up the stand in the morning or pack up at end of the day.
