Availability Details
The café operates on a Monday 2-4pm weekly. A visit to the café to be aware of how the facility runs and meet the attendees and volunteers would be a monthly asset. Trustee meetings face to face and occur every 10-12 weeks, usually on a Tuesday 7-9.30pm, at a local public venue. Between meetings Trustees have electronic communications and exchange of information. Should there be any emergency matters to consider, an extraordinary meeting would be arranged possibly electronically. From time to time possibly x2 per year we attend local events to market ourselves, these happen usually at the weekend.
Location
This opportunity can be carried out whilst working from home.
