The Volunteers

 

The shop and café are staffed by volunteers without whom the project would not be feasible.

 

There are more than 40 volunteers - some work a few times a week, some only once a month.

 

Each shift is 3 ½ hours and they work with at least one other volunteer.

 

The benefits of volunteering include making new friends, keeping the mind and body active, fulfilling a useful community service and learning all the latest gossip in the area.

 

The oldest volunteer so far is 82 and there are male and female volunteers.

 

Those that do not want to help out in the shop or café often do deliveries or help with maintenance, and any help is appreciated.

 

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer please let the Project Manager Alison know, she would be delighted to hear from you.
