Volunteers are the key to our success and the wonderful work we create together.
Here at Friends of St. James’ Park and Parklife Café we always welcome volunteers. Volunteering can give you the opportunity to try something new, gain experience & develop skills, improve your career prospects, build confidence and meet new people.
We’re interested in hearing from you if you’d like to get involved in supporting us. You can speak to Hilde, our Community Volunteer Coordinator to find out more: events@fosjp.org.uk.

Fundraising
If you’re unable to volunteer with us currently then you can support us in other ways such as helping to raise funds for Friends of St. James’ Park. We are also keen to get involved with experienced fundraisers who can help us to raise funds to enable us to retain our small number of staff and to ensure our support groups can continue.
