The Kincorth Community Centre Hub has great volunteer opportunities to assist with a range of activities at the Hub. Volunteer roles include supporting our busy community cafe, which has rapidly taken off, we currently open 9.30 -2.30, but our aim is to run a breakfast and supper club, as well as have the cafe open for activities in the evening. We have a diverse community that has a lot to offer e.g.: art classes/exercise group/dance class/music lessons and we are always open to new ideas-we are more or less a blank canvass. Excellent support and relevant guidance is provided to all volunteers. Level 2 Hygiene Certificate will be offered to those who want to volunteer/cook in the café. Any other training would be reviewed and provided if proved relevant. A fantastic, enjoyable opportunity to volunteer and help make a real difference for people and the community. All volunteers are greatly appreciated. For further information please contact Andrea Stewart at email gingerstewart@btinternet.com or telephone: 07985 600037.

We are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to help provide an opportunity for men in our community to take part in our weekly men’s group who meet weekly on a Wednesday morning. You will engage with members of our community at the group. The group leader will work alongside the men to produce a weekly programme of activities driven by the group members. Whilst the group leader will guide the activities they should also encourage the men to share their knowledge and skills with the rest of the group. You will also be responsible for administrative takes such as taking a register and writing up feedback each week that will be used as evidence for funders of the work being carried. Being part of this initiative would mean you are giving people in our local community the chance to participate in groups and activities whilst encouraging a healthier lifestyle, learning new skills and improving social interaction with others.
