Corporate Volunteering
Whatever you're building, we're here to help you take the first step with confidence.
Volunteers are central to everything we do at Healthy Living Platform - they are at the heart of our impact.
We welcome corporate groups to volunteer with us and gain first-hand insight into how we connect communities through food.

The Impact of Your Support
Healthy Living Platform redistributes surplus food across Lambeth through our Food Hub and community network.
• Supporting around 2,500 households (approx. 6,000 people) every week
• 674,000 meals delivered each year
• Supporting 40+ community organisations
• Around 4,500 meals delivered for every £1,000 invested
Your volunteering day, and your contribution, directly supports this work, helping ensure local residents can access healthy, affordable food in welcoming community spaces.
What to Expect on the Day
Our corporate volunteering days are hands-on, varied and social, giving your team a full picture of how our work operates.
You may support activities across:
The Food Hub
Receive and sort surplus food deliveries, organise stock and prepare food for redistribution.
The Community Kitchen
Prepare food using surplus ingredients and portion staple foods ready for distribution.
The Pantry
Support our community food shop and help create a welcoming, inclusive environment for residents.
For full-day sessions, teams rotate across activities and come together for a shared community lunch, giving everyone the opportunity to experience different parts of our work.
