The Allotment Market Stall provides good quality, well priced, locally grown fruit and vegetables and reduces waste. We have great opportunities this season for volunteers to be part of helping at our market stalls at the wonderful Seaton Park or Victoria Park, Aberdeen on a Friday.
Main tasks include:
• Help set up our market stall and sell fruit and vegetables in the park.
• Our produce is grown on allotments in Aberdeen so you will help us to reduce food miles and food waste, to support the allotment sites and to provide fresh, local produce.
• It's also a great way to meet people and spend time outdoors in the park.
Volunteers will be fully trained and supported in our procedures and equipment. Volunteers will also have the support of the Stall Coordinator at all times.
