There is an opportunity to volunteer at the OPEN HOUSE in Penicuik Town Hall on Saturday mornings. Open House is a friendly place which serves coffees, teas, homemade cakes and scones at modest prices and later in the morning, soup and bread. There is also a popular fortnightly exhibition on topics relating to Penicuik’s fascinating life and history. As a volunteer you would join an enthusiastic team which works in groups of two or three according to a rota. There are two shifts: the first from 9:30am- 11:45am and the second from 11:45am-2:00pm. You would help to lay out crockery, food and drinks as guided; serve the customers and wash up and clear away at the end. You would offer a friendly welcome to all customers, many of whom are regulars, and you would help to create a sociable and relaxed atmosphere where people can meet their friends and make new ones.
Experience required
A person will need basic domestic skills but no previous experience is required. The opportunity would suit you if you enjoy meeting people and value community life
