It's important to note that the majority of our staff are enthusiastic and friendly volunteers. We have a diverse community of individuals and are keen to recruit as many people as possible. If you are interested in joining our family of volunteers, please contact us for a simple application pack.

In order to ensure the smooth running of the shop, café and all outreach projects, in addition to our volunteers we have two permanent staff members.
