Oxgangs Neighbourhood Centre are desperately looking for volunteers to help in their café.
“Our kitchen/café can be quite a busy place, so we need people with an interest in catering and serving the general public. We have a few experienced volunteers and anyone interested would be given training where required. We serve hot and cold filled rolls and home baking. An interest in home baking is an advantage, but not necessary. The successful candidates would be expected to help with baking, cooking bacon etc. and keeping the kitchen clean, as well as dealing with our customers.”
