Lunch Positive will once again be running a Community Café at Pride this year.
THE community café on Saturday, August 1, at Preston Park, will be provided entirely by volunteers to raise funds for the HIV charity, who provide a weekly nourishing meal for people with HIV every Friday at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church in Kemptown.
The café will serve affordable hot food – all priced at £5, hot and cold drinks and homemade cakes.
Lunch Positive is looking for extra volunteers to join its own volunteers on the day. There are a range of roles to fill including setting up and clearing away the marquee and equipment, serving food, and back of house housekeeping. Volunteering hours will vary, depending on the role allocated.
Gary Pargeter, Volunteer Project Manager, said: “Our café at Pride is an extra special project this year, being part of the newly sited ‘Community Village’.
“We always have a great response from our own volunteers, but more hands make light work, and extra team members would make a big difference. We’ve invested in a new marquee and new equipment for Pride, we want to raise funds and also make a big impact on the event.
We stage our café every year, and we’re always told how much fun it is to be part of. There’ll be a team briefing in July, and lots of support on the day itself. It’s a very different experience to what most people are used to, but that’s the challenge and fun of it all!”
