WOLVERHAMPTON, UK - A Wolverhampton-based voluntary group is urgently seeking volunteer drivers to deliver meals to nearly a thousand people in need each week, according to BBC Business. Friends of Di's Kitchen (FODK), founded in memory of Dianne Henry, who ran a church soup kitchen, requires drivers for up to two hours on Thursday afternoons. The organization, which began in 2020, currently delivers meals to over 300 homes every Thursday.
The group's founder, Jan Kellond, told BBC Business that they needed more volunteers to help with the weekly service. FODK started by providing meals to just six people and has since expanded its reach significantly. The organization's efforts highlight the ongoing need for community support in the city.
In other news, a government initiative is underway to connect young people with apprenticeship opportunities, mirroring the university clearing system, as reported by BBC Business. This online platform, backed by significant funding, will provide information on available roles and aims to increase higher-level learning and apprenticeships. The goal is to simplify the apprenticeship process and provide information on potential earnings and career prospects.
