The Chatty Café Scheme
Are you interested in volunteering?
We would love to offer a 'Chatter & Natter' table at Banstead and Horley Community Centres and need a volunteer to help host the sessions. It's a simple concept where members of the public are invited to sit at the table, simply to chat.
Loneliness is a silent killer and this is a great way that we can work with the community to offer a table in our café to bring people together and tackle loneliness at the same time.
Do you enjoy speaking to new people? Could you spare 1 to 2 hours a week to help promote and host the table?
Full training will be available.
