Nosh is expanding!

Rhiannon is an old family friend who has graciously agreed to give of her time on a volunteer basis for a while – we are delighted to have her on board!

 

“Lovely to meet you, my name is Rhiannon. My volunteer work at Nosh began in late July, after my lovely mother attended the Odd Plate Luncheon at Oakfield Farm. Nosh was appealing for help and hands and my mother, not unkindly, threw me in Hanneke’s direction as I was driving both her and myself up the wall.

While I have little experience with food rescue, I have some years of experience in gently tweaking people’s lives to make them more manageable and easier to run, slightly due to my qualification and registration as a Registered Counsellor, but mostly due to the fact that I am an incorrigible busy-body with few filters and many opinions. And thus, the title of “Personal Assistant” was bequeathed unto me. Well, in actuality, the title of “Accountability Buddy” was, but “Personal Assistant” sounds much more important, so we went with that.

My current plans with Nosh and Hanneke are to create a stable, sustainable, easy-to-use, administration system, with the possibility of adding some content focused on the mental health of volunteer workers somewhere down the line. Food rescue is an environmentally and socially important mission, and I am looking forward to helping volunteers, workers and beneficiaries in any way I can, using the skills I have and the knowledge I have, and will continue, to learn.”
