Volunteers needed for All Night Cafe

Charity New Beginnings Reading are recruiting volunteers for our All Night Cafe Shelter for the homeless. Have you got time to spare to help please? We offer a hot meal, clean clothing, a safe place to sleep and breakfast to Reading's homeless at the weekend.

Why not join part of our wonderful team of volunteers making a difference to the homeless in Reading.

Help is needed to welcome guests, set up, cook dinner, sleep in, set up breakfast and clear down. We welcome up to 29 guests at our night shelter for those who are homeless with low support needs. All volunteers will be supervised and supported by experienced team leaders. Our night shelter is now going into its third successful year.

We are especially seeking volunteers who can volunteer in the 10.30pm to 7.15am overnight shift.

There are three shift times available to suit everyone:

  • 7.15pm to 10.30pm to welcome guests, set up guests beds, cook dinner and get ready for night shift.

  • 10.30pm to 7.15am overnight shift, volunteers can sleep in shifts with one awake at all times.

  • 7am to 9am breakfast shift, waking guests, setting out breakfast, signing out guests and set down.

Volunteers must be over 18, full training given at our induction day on Saturday 28th March from 10am to 1pm at the Queens Arms.

Come and join our wonderful team and be a part of something good in Reading.
