Volunteer with us
We are always looking for volunteers to join our vibrant, fast paced and fun kitchen team!
Whether you can offer three days a week, or a day a month, we would love to welcome you.

Why Volunteer With Us?
Volunteering with the Real Jam & Chutney Company is a chance to make a meaningful difference. By supporting people with learning disabilities, you’ll help them build practical skills, grow in confidence, and live more independently. At the same time, you’ll become part of a supportive team that creates delicious, handcrafted preserves with purpose.


The Difference You Can Make
Volunteers help create an environment where people with learning disabilities feel valued and supported. Your time and encouragement can open up opportunities for them to learn new skills, take pride in their achievements, and become more confident in daily life. Every hour you give helps build brighter futures.

What You'll Do
As a volunteer, you’ll play an important role in our kitchen. From assisting with production tasks like jarring and labelling to encouraging team members during their work, every day is rewarding. You might also help deliver our products in our electric van or support activities in our garden. Whatever your role, you’ll be helping to foster independence and success.

Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need professional experience to join us—just enthusiasm, patience, and a genuine desire to help. If you enjoy working with people, have a positive attitude, and want to give back to the community, you’ll be a perfect fit for our team.


Mieke's volunteering experience
‘What makes me wake up with a smile on my face on a Thursday morning?
It’s knowing that I’m going to spend time volunteering with a lovely group of people producing jam and chutney from premier ingredients.’
