• We are closed on Mondays

• We are open late on Wednesdays (9pm) and close early on Sundays (4.30pm)

• We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of one shift per week, however we are happy to discuss individual needs and therefore encourage applications from everyone

• Each shift includes a 20-minute break (tea, coffee, and biscuits are provided)
