🌟 We’re Growing and We Need You! 🌟

Our Community Café at Colne Citadel is getting busier every week and we’re looking for more amazing volunteers to join our team! 💚

If you’ve got kitchen experience, great customer service skills, or just a big heart and a love for people, we’d love to have you on board! ☕🍳

As the winter months now move in we also see a rise in pensioners visit the charity and spend the day with us, as it’s cheaper to be surrounded by caring volunteers in a warm environment than be at home. Especially with the cost of central heating ❤️ 🥶 ❤️

If you want to join a team that is more like a family, then we want to hear from you! 💕

To register your interest, just message our page and we’ll get back to you with more details! ❤️

A share a day can brighten skies,
A little truth, a small surprise.
A kindness passed from hand to hand,
A seed that grows in quiet land.

A laugh exchanged, a whispered cheer,
A moment held for someone near.
The world turns soft in simple ways
when hearts give light to ordinary days.

So offer warmth, however small—
a note, a smile, a listening call.
For every gentle gift you send
can lift a day, can mend a friend.
