Without our lovely volunteers, the shop could not exist. Volunteers range in age from 13 to 80+. Everyone is welcome, whether you are helping on the shop floor, or in the kitchen washing up, or serving or clearing tables, or supporting the shop orchard team, or even driving the buggy to take our waste to the nearby containers. If you have just two hours to spare once a month or once a week, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you!

On the shop side, we have mostly part-time staff, beautifully led by our manager Trish. Cristy, Ani and Karen, all excellent cooks, make up our wonderful kitchen team.

We have a management committee who oversee the strategic direction of the shop and café, but the day-to-day management is undertaken by our lovely manager Trish.
