How You Can Help!

Volunteer your time!

The Coach House has benefited enormously from volunteers over the years. They have done everything from full-time management, book-keeping, baking, soup-making, jam-making, washing, gardening, cleaning, stocktaking and of course, staffing the shop, serving in the café and manning the tills.

Presently we are particularly looking for people to help with:-

bulletbaking and soup-making for the café
bulletstaffing the shop

Volunteers work either a morning or an afternoon shift, 10.15 to 1.45 or 1.45 to 5.15. No previous experience is needed. Our tills are pretty simple and Sue Bond is on hand during the week and one of our weekend supervisors the rest of the time. As a rule, we are open every day except Mondays. The volunteers decide when they will come. Some people like to work a regular slot while others simply put their name in the diary whenever they are available.

Other possibilities include:

bulletPricing goods in the shop
bulletMaking displays in the shop
bulletCleaning the shop, fridges and freezers
bulletDistributing publicity materials
bulletStock taking and stock control
bulletHelping with the book-keeping
bulletKeeping the book cabin tidy
bulletPricing books
bulletGardening
