Support Us
We’re here to offer support and opportunity
Whether it is volunteering with us, you want to talk through a fundraising idea or you are just interested in finding out more about the projects we run… get in touch and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Getting Involved
Lend a helping hand at our cookery classes, volunteer at one of our groups, put on an event of your own… there are lots of fun, exciting and rewarding ways to get involved with supporting Zest. Please get in touch and let us know how you’d like to help make Leeds a fair city where everyone has the same opportunity.
Corporate support
If your organisation are looking at giving something back to our brilliant city, we have a number of exciting opportunities to get involved. Whether its volunteering for your company away day or running your own fundraiser to support our work, we'd love to chat about ways to get involved. You can also support Zest through booking an away day with the Leeds Cookery School, who donate 100% of their profits to Zest.
Fundraising
As a charity we need people to help out with our community fundraising - that can include anything from running a coffee morning to helping out at one of the events we run.
Volunteer
At Zest we deliver a large number of different community groups aimed at improving wellbeing and reducing social isolation. We need volunteers to help support staff to deliver these groups. Tasks might include helping to organise activities, meeting and greeting participants or delivering sessions.
Donate
Your support will help to make a difference to 1,500 people a year through our community health projects.
Whether it’s a one-off gift, adopting us as your charity of the year or running a fundraising event, all support is welcome.
