Village Kitchen CIC
- VO101056
BACKGROUND
The Village Kitchen is a service that delivers frozen meals around Clackmannanshire on a Tuesday and a Friday. They were set up during Covid due to the difficulty the older people in the community had with getting to the supermarket. After Covid there was still a demand for their services so have continued offering the support.
As well as delivering meals, they set up a Thursday cafe and now have 30-35 people attending on a weekly basis. They engage with their guests, offer any support that they can and help to build up friendships to avoid isolation at home. Once a month they take a number of guests out on a bus trip to various places in the Forth Valley area.
As a Driver, you will be collecting meals at 10am from The Hive in Dollar on a Tuesday and/or Friday and delivering to an area which include Alloa, Hillfoots, Muckhart and Dollar. Other drivers help out on a Thursday by picking up and dropping off guests at the cafe and returning them home in the Dollar area. Please note that Thursday drivers would need to be available for dropping them off at The Hive (11.30pm - 12pm) and returning to take guests home (1.30pm - 2pm).
Everything works on a rota system and volunteers can do as much or as little as suits them, dipping in and out of all aspects of our work or sticking to the one area, it's up to them.
