Have you thought about volunteering in a community cafe? 

Many cafes work with teams of volunteers and opportunities can be really varied – there’s almost certainly something to suit you. If you know where you’d like to volunteer why not give the cafe a call using the phone numbers listed on this website or our handy map, or just drop into your local one and ask if they need any help. Otherwise, take a look at our facebook page for the latest opportunities.

We are sad to say that our volunteer drop in mornings at the Cafe on the Corner are no longer running; however. we hope to get something similar started up very soon. 

Many of the cafes advertise volunteer posts on the Volunteer Centre Edinburgh website - click here. They can help find the right kind voluntary work for you, whether you're looking for a little experience or you are trying to improve your employability and even if you require some kind of support when volunteering.


If you are a cafe looking for volunteers you can get in touch with them and they will advertise for you as well as giving you advice on how to manage volunteers. Also, if you want information to appear on this page then Contact Us.
