Volunteering
It's all about fun, teamwork and experience. Our volunteers say that they feel part of a team and get a lot out of the experience. We have training for all the jobs that need doing and loads of laughs doing it.
Volunteers are always welcome to help at cafe-club nights:
- In the kitchen
- At the soft bar
- On the door
- Dressing the venue
- Organising the entertainments
- Promoting the events
- Stage management during events
Volunteers also welcome in other roles:
- On the steering group - helping develop and direct the Serenity Cafe
- As peer supporters and recovery coaches - a new training programme is starting in 2010
- Developing Serenity Cafe's programme of activities (such as our women's group, football team and other interest groups)
You gain:
- Friendship and fun
- Giving and getting back as part of a recovery community
- Skills and experience you can use for your personal development or as a step towards work
- Training and support
- We are working towards offering accredited training in community development
Before and after - and then our volunteers relax and share a meal before the fun starts!
