Love people? Brilliant at customer service? Want to make a real difference to the people of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and beyond?
At SOFEA, our Community Larders are more than places to access affordable food - they are welcoming local hubs where people connect, access support, and build brighter futures.
