Café 1759 wouldn’t be what it is without the people who give their time, energy and care to make it run every day
Our amazing volunteers are the lifeblood of the café and it’s thanks to them that so many of our projects are possible. By volunteering you can help to shape our offer, listening to our customers and acting upon what we hear is what we’re all about. So, we say a big Thank You!
Our volunteers help with everything from:
- Baking our cakes and sweet treats
- Keeping the café clean and compliant with food safety regulations
- Managing stock levels and deliveries at our community pantry
- Creating a friendly, safe space for all
- Supporting one another to ensure we have strong team
- Listening to customers so we can suggest where to make improvements
If you’d like to be part of the Café 1759 family, get in touch! Volunteering can be a great way to meet people, build confidence, and gain skills – all while giving something back to your community. Just ask one of the team to find out more or contact Lottie Levin, Cafe Manager at cafe.1759@abri.co.uk or by calling 01420 555970.
Emma’s Story
Emma has been with us at the café since day one. She is a vital member of the Café 1759 volunteer team, in fact, you could say that Emma is a Café 1759 veteran! We’re so lucky to work with her. She loves all aspects of her role in the café, no task is too small, and we really couldn’t do it without her.
Since joining us back in 2018, Emma has completed her level 2 food safety certificate, allergy awareness and received Barista training. Emma loves to get stuck in with the café events, always with a smile.
Emma told us:
"I love working at Café 1759 with my friends. I enjoy meeting new people and chatting to customers when I’m working on the till. I really enjoyed the Christmas party last year and cannot wait for the one this year".
