Volunteering Opportunities

Block 1 text

In Coventry we are currently serving the local homeless 7 days a week every evening. This takes places outside our premises in Spon End. We need volunteers to help prepare and pack meals that we distribute to the homeless. This would involve helping to serve during the evening feed and helping to pack and arrange emergency food parcels.

Langar Aid also holds annual events and takes part in various community events bringing people together by serving free food. Due to covid19 we have not been able to confirm any of these events as yet. When these events are back to normal we will need volunteers to man stalls at events and help with raising awareness.

Please make sure that you have received all necessary training and information regarding your own health and safety before commencing volunteering.
