Social Impact Intern (London / Hybrid)

Grandma’s Soup is a social enterprise with a simple but powerful mission:
to reduce loneliness among older adults through cooking and connection.

The initiative is inspired by the Dutch social enterprise Oma’s Soep. In the Netherlands, Oma’s Soep has grown rapidly with student-led boards in 14 cities. They deliver weekly soup packages, and run social initiatives that foster connection across generations. Surplus vegetables are used to create soups, reducing food waste while generating funds through sales in supermarkets and cafés to sustain and expand the social impact.

We are now bringing this model to the UK, starting with London, and are looking for motivated student entrepreneurs to help build and shape our first UK chapter. This is a hands-on leadership opportunity where you’ll help design, launch, and grow a social enterprise that makes a real difference in people’s lives.

You are:

• Entrepreneurial with a proactive, problem-solving mindset
• Strong communicator with excellent interpersonal skills
• Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple projects
• A self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment

What you’ll gain:

• Firsthand experience launching a social enterprise in a new market
• Exposure to retail operations, sales pipelines, and food industry partners
• Practical experience in marketing, fundraising, partnerships, and PR
• Close collaboration with founders and a chance to shape early UK growth
