As the days get shorter and the leaves start to fall, it’s hard to comprehend how much has happened in the last few months. Aside from everything around us turning on its head, we at Veg Box People have seen a huge amount change.
We are very proud of our new website, it has been a real labour of love over the last twelve months. We started with a blank piece of paper and began by asking how our very practical work could be enhanced and supported by a new website.
The result is a gorgeous looking website, with some very useful functions.

Veg Box People and Manchester Veg People are recruiting for an energetic role in fresh produce logistics!
These two co-operative organisations work closely together to deliver a model of a more sustainable and fairer food system for Greater Manchester.
Our sister organisation, Veg Box People, are looking to recruit a passionate and hardworking person to join them for 30 hours a week, and help to grow Manchester’s food revolution.
The role itself will include lots of different jobs, from meeting the farmers and growers of the produce, to helping to pack the bags with the team, delivering them to the collection points, and helping out with general admin tasks.
Now that the days are getting longer and we’ve all had a good rest over Christmas things are really starting to ramp up over at the Veg Box People lockup.
Our sister organisation, Veg Box People, are looking to recruit a passionate and hardworking person to join them for 19 hours a week (with potential to increase as the business grows), and help to grow Manchester’s food revolution in practice.
The Kindling Trust are hiring for two roles: Communications Officer for the Kindling Family, and Building Manager for Bridge 5 Mill.
We are entering one of the worst financial crises of the last few decades, with many people already feeling the squeeze of the cost of living crisis - and things are seeming as if they will only get worse in the coming months. While the cost of living goes up, the national insurance increase may mean that our take-home wage is also decreasing. UK households are facing yet more decisions on whether to heat their homes or eat dinner.
A note from our sister organisation, Veg Box People, on their recent survey about their veg bags and other exciting things…
Last Sunday we took part in the national Open Farm Sunday event where we opened our gates at Woodbank Community Food Hub to show the work that we do in trying to transform the local food system - it was an absolutely fantastic day, and we are so grateful to everyone for coming down and taking part in our activities.
