World Peace Cafe
Would you like to experience what it’s like to help in a Buddhist centre in the heart of the city? Volunteering with us is a wonderful way to contribute, meet like-minded people, and enjoy a meaningful break from everyday life.
You can help as a:
Short-term residential volunteer
Local volunteer
In exchange for 30 hours of help per week, we offer:
Comfortable accommodation in same-sex dormitories (bedding and towels provided)
Delicious food, including daily lunch from our café and access to a shared kitchen for other meals
Free access to our meditation classes
You’ll have the chance to develop new skills, deepen your understanding of Buddhist practice, and become part of a friendly international community.
Our World Peace Café is a big part of the Centre — for many visitors, it’s their first introduction to meditation and modern Buddhism. We do our best to make it a calm, welcoming space for everyone.
As a café volunteer, you’ll receive full training in preparing a variety of food and drinks, and you’ll help set up and bring in our outdoor furniture each day. No experience is needed, just a kind heart and a willingness to learn.
It’s a relaxed, friendly environment where you can gain confidence, learn practical skills, and connect with people from around the world.
If you live locally and would like to offer some of your time, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Our entire community is built on the kindness of others — through your help, we’re able to continue sharing meditation and practical wisdom with more people.
Local volunteers can help in a variety of ways, including:
Supporting in the World Peace Café
Assisting with meditation classes and courses
Helping in the bookshop or on reception
Distributing publicity in the local area
In exchange for a full day’s help, we offer free drinks from the café and a delicious lunch.
