We support our activity through fundraising & event catering, to ensure our food is provided free of charge to those in most need and that everyone remains on equal terms. We are always happy to be given donations of dried food, clothes and toiletries to share with our community.

If you are interested in making a (much appreciated) one-off or regular financial contribution to our project, please visit us during one of our social café sessions or email us at: [email protected]

​Guest Chefs & other Volunteers
If you would like to volunteer with us & help with our community's social café sessions, we would love to meet you. 

You are welcome to come along, help set up & socialise with people in the hall at St Andrew's URC any Monday from 10am, then share food with us all at 12:30. Help with clearing up afterwards is always welcome too!
That way you can see how we operate and introduce yourself too.  There are all sorts of ways you could potentially volunteer with us.

If time allows & you'd like to join in practically, our session lead can introduce you to the team, take you through our induction & add you to our bank of volunteers. 
Once you are part of our team of volunteers, if you'd like to cook a favourite dish for around 70 people on a Monday, we have most basics and can help get necessary ingredients. 

Activity Leaders
We sometime have very small amounts available to support weekly 1 hour activities - Arts/Crafts/English Language/Music etc. And a free lunch of course!

We love saving food from landfill. If you are a supplier, bread maker, shop or the like, and you have fresh Halal food/ingredients you think we could use, either as a one-off or on a regular basis, please do get in touch. Email us at: [email protected]

​"Open Kitchen Social Club provides a safe space in Sheffield, a place where people can come and feel like they're not at risk and can get what they need."

 

not just us

We give thanks for all who support Open Kitchen Social Club - with shared time, practical help, financial donations, shared life experience, skills, invitations to cater and donations of ingredients.
 
Alongside much appreciated grant funds, we are given regular weekly donations of surplus food to cook with & to share out from Beanies Wholefoods, as well as discounted supplies from Yafai & Sons.
