Frequency & commitment

We will be open on Saturday and Sundays between 10-5 to the general public. We can offer morning/afternoon or all day volunteer shifts according to your circumstances/preferences. In addition on Fridays we will be closed to the public, but will use this time for training, mentoring, cooking and getting ready for the weekend.
