We love that over Christmas we have SO many new volunteers signing up, it's wonderful to welcome new faces. π
However, here at FoodCycle, a meal isn't just for Christmas and we are in real need of people who can volunteer at our projects throughout the year.
Great to see our students from @comp_sci_durham blogging about their #internships in 2021. Thanks to Steve Thomas for reflecting on his experience as a Software Engineer (Intern) with global financial firm @FactSetsites.durham.ac.uk/studentblβ¦
What a way to end the year at FoodCycle Westgate, with a 5-star food hygiene rating! Our volunteers really do go above and beyond every single week for our guests and we are very proud of them.
WELL DONE WESTGATE!

Staying in instead of going out? Your @JustEatUK order will do some good this Christmas and support @foodcycle to provide meals to those need across the UKπ. Well worth a takeaway if you ask me!
We've partnered with @JustEatuk who are on a mission to provide at least 200,000 meals for the homeless, vulnerable and lonely this Christmas.
When you order a takeaway from Just Eat you can donate Β£3, Β£5 or Β£10 at checkout and they'll match your donation pound for pound.ππ
