I truly appreciate the work carried out by Made in Hackney. The food justice charity is all about bringing vegan food knowledge, availability and expertise to people in low income, at risk and hard to reach situations.

If you haven’t heard about the project before, you need to get to their website to read about their outstanding work and book yourself in to one of their cooking classes. The money you pay will help Made in Hackney carry on with their vital support work.

If I have sold you on how fab they are, maybe you would also consider working with the group. There are currently two positions looking to be filled with Made in Hackney.

Here are the brief job descriptions lifted from the website.

1) Project Manager – Programmes

£28,000 pro rota – 28 hours/week (4 days)

This is an exciting role leading the key projects and operations at Made in Hackney. The successful candidate will work directly with two other Project Managers, a Project Coordinator (Public Health) a Finance Manager, a Venue Manager, freelance cookery teachers, apprentices and a large network of volunteers whom deliver Made In Hackney’s varied programme of cookery classes.

The ideal candidate will have experience working in a cross section of the social enterprise, charity and/or public sectors, as well as education and/or community health. They will be an experienced project manager, skilled at multi-tasking and will feel as comfortable presenting to a panel of Public Health professionals as getting stuck in with clearing out the compost bin or solving an IT problem. A detailed understanding of, and passion for the health and environmental issues underpinning Made In Hackney’s food policy (local, seasonal, organic, planet based) and mission is essential. Experience/knowledge of food growing and environmental issues preferred.

The experience of working at Made in Hackney is varied, unique and very rewarding.  There is no ‘typical’ day and we are looking for someone who is flexible to work out of the normal office working hours (for example at weekend market stalls etc.) There is plenty of room for the successful candidate to be creative and bring new ideas for developing existing programmes and activities.

2) Newly created vacancy for a Venue Manager 

£24,000 pro rota – 7 hours/week (1 day)

This is a newly created role responsible for organising the day to day kitchen venue and office space at Made in Hackney in Stoke Newington. The ideal candidate will have experience managing a community venue, project or kitchen, (eg. nursery, restaurant) taking client bookings and working in education and/or community health. They will be experienced project managers, skilled at multi-tasking and will feel as comfortable meeting potential new kitchen hire clients as getting stuck in with clearing out the compost bin or solving an IT problem.

The closing date for applying for these jobs is July 15, 2016. Click here to get more information on applying.

Yay for Made in Hackney!

Vegan business closed

by

Do you remember when I wrote about GIVEkitchen? This food subscription service was designed to get vegan food to Liverpool while also donating meals to people in need. You can read my original post here.

I was alerted earlier today by a reader that the business has abruptly closed.

I popped over to the company’s Facebook page and found the following statement posted:

IMG_5741

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all your kind words and support.

You all deserve an explanation as to why Give has closed so abruptly today. The team at Give have put a phenomenal amount of effort in the last 15 months, into creating a successful online vegan business and a great vegan restaurant. Thank you to all our customers for supporting us. We have been busy.

Plus on the charity side you have helped us to contact and help various charities in Liverpool, Manchester and overseas, ultimately feeding a lot of needy people. You have helped us to champion the vegan cause and ethical treatment of all beings with out cruelty or death. We must sincerely thank our staff and customers for this. We can say that nothing we harmed and we fed lots of people to a high standard without cruelty in the time we have been opened.

While the business has been busy and turning over money, the start up costs have been high. We have been hit with some large bills this month. We have some debts as a result and everyone who has invested in the business literally has no more money left to put in. It is a real shame as we feel the love off our customers and with more funding we could have grown the business and helped a lot more people.

We were left in the position that today we could close the business but still pay all staff what is owning this month and refund existing orders. If we would have carried on, then due to cash issues, we may not have been in a position to do this. It would not have been fair to our customers and staff if they were left out of pocket.

The management and staff are really disappointed and sad that it has come to this but we literally have no more funds to invest.

If you would like to consider buying or investing in the business to allow us to continue or want to take over and keep the ethos alive we would be glad to hear from you by email to ask@givekitchen.com

Thanks again for your kind messages and calls. We will be in touch with charities, suppliers and call back people who have ordered next week.

Please have an amazing weekend.

Again from all the team.

Thank you 💚

That’s some sad news right there. I hope all the staff can quickly find replacement jobs.

Part time vegan job in Glasgow

by

If you live in Glasgow and have a flexible schedule, you might just want to get involved
with this job.

The Vegan Kind is a monthly subscription box filled with cruelty-free brands. Subscribers are treated each month to a rotating selection of snacks, personal products, sweets and more.

With a huge number being sent out each month, someone has to pack all of the goodies into the boxes before they can head out the door.

tvk29-slide-1-w940h350

Karris McCulloch, owner of The Vegan Kind, is currently searching for part time packers who will help get the boxes out promptly each month.

Karris says the work would suit a student or a person with a flexible schedule as the days dedicated to packing can change from month to month.

If packing boxes of vegan treats sounds like a fun way to pass the time and earn some extra money, you can email karris@thevegankind.com to express your interest.
