Overview
We are looking to recruit 3 new employees to help us deliver ‘Community Soup’, an exciting new venture at St. George’s Church Ramsgate. The overall aim of these roles is to help ensure the smooth delivery of Community Soup at St. George’s Church.
Community Soup – The Vision
With funding from Canterbury Diocese and a Thanet District Council Shared Prosperity Fund grant, Community Soup will operate on Wednesday and Saturday lunchtimes, 12-2pm, from the main St George’s church building on a ‘pay what you can’ basis.
As the cost-of-living crisis has intensified there has been increased demand from people in Ramsgate for low-cost food. This project expands the already well-established Tuesday evening St George’s Community Meal to be inclusive of more in the wider community.

Soup cooked in St George’s Hall kitchen will be taken into the church to be served.
