Cafe Volunteers with Pathways Care Farm

Pathways Care Farm sits on a beautiful 13-acre site in north Lowestoft, Suffolk, and has been a working farm since the 19th century. It includes everything you’d expect with a cluster of farm buildings at its entrance which gives way to two adjacent fields with a further grassy pasture at its northern limit. Being in touching distance of the A12 provides the convenience of a central location with the benefits of a rural setting. Less than 10 minutes away from Lowestoft Town Centre or James Paget Hospital in Gorleston in the opposite direction.

In a modern life with increased pressures on members of society, experiencing the great outdoors is life-changing and enhancing. It may be hard work for some of the time, but it is structured and guided, it stretches and challenges each individual in an appropriate manner and almost always leads to better mood and appetite, better sleep patterns and a sense of personal satisfaction in something worthwhile having been achieved.

As a volunteer in the café, you will gain:

·      Basic bistro training

·      Learn to bake freshly made cakes on site

·      Bistro training to gain a Level 1 qualification

·      Possible progression in to longer paid work

·      Training on the tills

The café is currently open a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 10AM and 3PM and we are looking for volunteers to volunteer a few hours a week.

Drinks will be provided during your two-to-three-hour shift with a separate relaxing area for volunteers and staff.
