Who is on the team?
We have an incredible team of volunteers and paid staff who help to make Park Life run successfully. This includes all of the café staff and volunteers who serve yummy food and drinks each day; volunteers who help with our events/activities and our charity staff.
Café staff
Those people who turn up day in and day out to make your coffee and food! Many of these staff are paid but are supported by volunteers.
Charity staff
We have an amazing team of part time staff who work out of the hub.
They are employed by the charity mainly through grants we still receive. (We are working towards self sufficiency ) This team oversee the running of the cafe and hub, our volunteers and projects, the administration of the hub, the grounds and building and Human Resources.
Fundraising team
This team has very experienced fund raisers scouring various funding sources for anything from small grants to support our events, through to putting together bids for larger sums of money that could pay for the cafe. Other bigger projects like our successful Health and Wellbeing project could also come through this team.
Events and volunteers team
The primary aim of the events team is to set up events in and around Heavitree park for all age groups to meet up at. Anyone locally can be involved in this group. This could involve practical voluntary help by setting up one of our regular pop up cafes or serving drinks at our annual carol concert on the basketball courts. If you want to be a volunteer, want to get involved with planning events or even have your own idea that you would just like support with, please contact us via the contact page or email hello@parklifeheavitree.org.uk
Trustees
Park Life Heavitree is a charitable company. We have a team of trustees who all have different roles within the team. At the moment we are learning a great deal about what it means to run a charity to as high a standard as possible in order to benefit as many people as possible.
