Night Light Cafe Market Rasen needs volunteers!

Our volunteers provide a warm welcome in a peaceful environment created to calm those who attend, offering a listening ear and signposting advice to guests. We provide games, colouring, puzzle books and jigsaws, reading, and other mindful activities alongside drinks and snacks.

Are you a good listener? Do you have lived experience of poor mental health but now in a good, stable place? Can you offer 3-4 hours every couple of weeks on a Monday evening?

If the answers are YES, then get in touch to arrange an informal interview so we can get to know you as part of our Safer Recruitment process. All our volunteers are given training in safeguarding and mental health awareness, and will be DBS checked.

Get in touch via this page, or email nightlight@actstrust.org.uk to apply. Do share this with anyone you think might be a good fit!

Thre are loads of volunteering opportunities listed, and we're one of them!

If you're a good listener, have some lived experience of mental health challenges, that you've now been in a stable place for at least 6 months, and can spare 4 hours once a fortnight, we'd love to have a chat 😀

You'll get training, and need to be DBS checked (which we can do for you) and be part of a wonderful team making a real difference in the community. Getin touch via these guys or drop a message to Night Light Cafe - Market Rasen

Happy New Year Market Rasen!🎉✨️

Looking for a new challenge or opportunity to give back to your community as part of you New Year resolutions?

Night Light Cafe - Market Rasen needs more volunteers to help develop the service we provide - are you told you're a good listener? Do you have lived experience of poor mental health, but currently in a good place and stable for at least the past 6 months? Can you offer 3-4 hours of your time once a fortnight? Would you like free training in Mental Health Awareness, safeguarding and have a little extra to put on your CV?

YES? Then we'd love to have a chat! Message this page or email nightlightcafemarketrasen@gmail.com to start the ball rolling. Applications from gents particularly welcome, we don't have any male volunteers at present, and find some guests prefer talking 'man to man'.

We are definitely OPEN tonight, despite the cold, thanks to our intrepid volunteers!

Here 6pm to 9pm for anyone struggling or finding life difficult. No need to book a slot, just drop in at any point. We'll even meet you outside if that helps, we understand how intimidating it can be making that 1st big step.

Wishing all of our volunteers, guests and supporters more of the good things and less of the bad ones in the year ahead. We are grateful for all of you.
