Delivery and Partnership Assistant - Gloucester, United Kingdom - The Wiggly Worm Charity

Description

The Wiggly Worm is one of Gloucestershire's leading food charities, established in 2007. We are Gloucestershire's Community Kitchen offering cooking courses in the community for people of all ages and abilities.

We use the cooking and sharing of food as a platform to build confidence and skills, improve health, and reduce social isolation.

Our expertise lies in using food in everyday ways to deliver physical and mental health benefits.

We offer hands-on experiences in the world of food, often working with those in our society who are vulnerable, disadvantaged or seldom heard.

We run courses and workshops in local communities, where children, young people and adults learn practical kitchen and cooking skills, or simply share and enjoy a meal and friendship.

We're positive and forward thinking, always looking for new and innovative ways of working work and we're ambitious about the future.
