Chatty Café Volunteer

Enjoy talking to new people? Enjoy café culture? Bellfield Community Café welcomes everyone! We encourage customers to sit on shared tables & meet new people. The aim is to bring people together & reduce loneliness in our community. But starting a conversation with a stranger isn’t easy. So we need chatty volunteers. You’ll welcome new people to your table, encourage others to join, and start some positive and light-hearted conversations. This is part of thechattycafescheme.co.uk

Travel details

Our café is held in the foyer of Bellfield (the old church). We're situated only a minute walk from Portobello High Street and the promenade.

Travel expenses

A volunteer can claim their expenses in person on the day, or via our online form.

Support
Training details

We’ll provide you with a handbook, an induction session and ongoing support from the Café Coordinator and other volunteers. If you’re interested in developing your skills further, The Chatty Café Scheme offer more extensive training and a 12-week plan for you to set up and promote your own Chatty Table.
