We are not a project that is set up to do one to one work but if we can advise or signpost, we do. We also aim to provide all our volunteers with a useful and enjoyable volunteering experience and knowledge that they are an important part of our team. Volunteering for the Sunday sessions involves filling takeaway bags (we provide each guest with a takeaway bag filled with a boxed drink, biscuits, choc treat, banana, and bread and butter) and then serving our guests, at the table, with a hot-meal and a takeaway bag. There is also time to interact with guests. Once the meal is over tasks include: litter picking, wiping down/sweeping up afterwards. All relevant training and guidance is provided When open, we start setting things up from 12:30pm so that everything is ready for when we open the doors for the guests at 1:30pm.We then stay open until about 3:00pm. After that we start clearing up, have a quick post-shift team briefing and we are usually away by 3:30pm. If you need to get off before then, though, that isn't a problem. An ability to actively listen is appreciated when talking with our guests. Do not worry if you don't feel that you have strong 'people skills' as our sessions are very relaxed and our guests are friendly. No previous experience or specific skills are required for you to volunteer with us and all relevant training & information is provided.
