The Ledward Centre café is reopening for Brighton Pride weekend, and we’re looking for volunteers to help us prepare and operate the café.
Volunteers can help with preparation in the days before opening, food preparation on Friday, or café operations during the weekend. Weekend volunteers will join either our Café Service Team, helping with drinks, food service, washing up and restocking, or our Front-of-House Team, helping customers, operating the till, clearing tables, managing spills and checking public areas and toilets. Full training and a role-specific induction will be provided.
Please use this form to tell us when you’re available and which team you’re interested in. You don’t need previous café experience as relevant training and an induction will be provided.
Our main weekend volunteer hours are:
Saturday 1 August: 11:15am–6:45pm
Sunday 2 August: 9:15am–4:45pm
If you are not able to volunteer for the full day then we also have options for half days.
Please select every shift you would potentially be available for. This is an indication of regular availability, not a commitment to attend every selected shift.
There are two main teams:
Café Service: Making barista drinks, serving food, washing up and restocking food.
Front of House: Serving customers, using the till, clearing tables, managing spills, completing toilet checks and keeping public areas clean and welcoming.
Baristas must attend a practical training session before opening weekend. The date and time will be confirmed depending on numbers.
For example, accessibility requirements, adjustments, allergies or tasks you cannot undertake. Please only share information that is relevant to your volunteering.
