What made you want to volunteer for a food charity?
Food plays such an important part in my life. Even after the worst day, you can always brighten it up with a delicious meal in the evening.
What have you learnt since volunteering with The Mini Cooking Club?
It's easy to wrap yourself up in the London rat race: coming to the various classes, watching or helping people from all walks of life learn so much about nutrition and food preparation is both satisfying and humbling. I have learned not to take anything in life for granted, even the smallest of things, as we often do not appreciate how lucky we are.
What is your best memory/funny moment from the Mini Cooking Club?
Being in a class and witnessing the reaction of kids touching raw meat for the first time was quite something.
What would you say to people that are thinking about volunteering with us?
Make sure you understand that volunteering may look fun and "glamorous" from the outside - but ask yourself if you really want to give up your weekends, or your evenings, to come and help others.
You need to be really passionate about what you're doing and what you want to achieve.
Thanks, Tim!
