So ….. why would you want to volunteer at the Sycamore Tree? Well – there’s several reasons – some practical and some less so. If you’re looking to find work and you want some demonstrated experience in the field of hospitality, then we’re a great place to start. We offer training in both front of house and kitchen and coffee-making. And we can act as a reference for you if you seek employment elsewhere. But – and possibly more importantly – we offer a great opportunity to work with good people, to develop social skills and to enjoy your work. We have a lot of long-term volunteers who work with us because we enjoy our time together and looking after customers.
