Staff & Volunteers

The Centre is run by a pool of around 70 volunteers together with a small paid staff.

Rob Bentley is Centre Manager, Tim Skene is Drop-in Supervisor/Deptury Manager, Curd de Vries is Tea Room Supervisor, Roger Weeks is Facilities Supervisor, Sue Withers is our Administrator and Vanessa Smith is our Accounts Assistant.

Sharing the building is a Christian Community of over thirty people including single men, women and families from more than twelve different nations. The Community plays a part in creating a family atmosphere and a commitment to the area.

Induction & Supervision

All volunteers fill in an application form, we take up references, interview them and give relevant training. There is an induction training package and volunteer handbook.
