We are looking for a cheerful and enthusiastic person who enjoys cooking for others to provide a simple lunch for the members attending the group.

Our Chat Cafe is a friendly drop in, open to all created with the goal of combatting loneliness and isolation. The group meets every Monday morning between 10-1p.m. We provide tea, coffee and company with the option of a light lunch. This gives people the opportunity to get out of the house, chat and meet new people in similar situations.


We are looking for volunteers who would enjoy cooking a healthy, light lunch (recipes available if you need some inspiration!) and having some great chat along the way!


All volunteers require a DBS check and a Level 2 food hygiene certificate, both of which are funded by the Centre. We would like to recruit 2-3 volunteers that can commit to one Monday morning a month.
