Everything Pie N Mash does relies on work done by the members of our community.
There are loads of ways to contribute. You can give anything from one hour of your time upwards. You can help out on a regular basis, or whenever you have time to spare.
To get involved, please come to The Field on a Thursday between 11.45 and 4pm. The Field is at 385 Queens Road, SE14 5HD.
Help with our food distribution
Lots of work goes into running our weekly food packages and food stalls. Members of our community:
- collect food donations and shop for food
- sort and pack food at The Field
- clean The Field at the end of each week
Get involved in our community projects
As Pie N Mash developed, we soon realised that working in small groups was a good way to come up with and discuss ideas. In September 2020 we received funding from the London Community Response fund. This gave us an opportunity to develop more ideas in a collaborative way.
Groups are currently working on several projects that benefit our community. The projects range from finance to bike repair. Find out more about our community projects.
These projects build and strengthen relationships within our community. Members also gain skills, confidence and enjoyment through working together.
Help coordinate our activities
As a community of equals, we want everyone to get involved in running the group’s activities. We need people to help others take part in activities, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
We provide support to help members learn to coordinate activities. For simpler roles, you shadow a coordinator for one week, then coordinate the next week. For more complex roles, you shadow for two weeks before being ready to coordinate by yourself.
