Weights & Cakes CIC

Happy Monday everyone - what better way to start the week than to help me fill the volunteer roster at Fulwell Quarry this Saturday! We’re looking to fill most roles as it’s a fairly empty roster so let me know if you can help with the following:

1 x timekeeper
2-3 scanners (1 can be a fast runner)
2 marshals
1 tailwalker
Pre-event course check (you can run parkrun after…)

FREE paddleboarding at Roker this Friday 21st August — and there's only 3 spots left.

Ages 7–18. Completely free for HAF-eligible children. Meal and snacks included, all equipment provided, qualified staff throughout.

This is the last Friday trip of the summer programme, so once these go, that's it until the next holidays.

As Weights & Cakes continues to grow, we're looking for some brilliant people who can spare a few hours to join our volunteer team.

☕ Coffee Shop Volunteers
Help create the warm, welcoming social space at the heart of Weights & Cakes. Making drinks, chatting to members and generally making people feel at home.

🍰 Volunteer Bakers
Love baking? Help keep the Cakes in Weights & Cakes! We're looking for people who can bake for our community café, groups and events.

📝 Volunteer Bid Writer / Fundraiser
If you understand funding applications, community projects or the voluntary sector, we'd love your help identifying opportunities and helping us tell our story to funders.

💻 Admin & Finance Volunteers
Help us stay organised behind the scenes with general admin, spreadsheets, basic finance support, records and reporting.

❤️ Support Group Leaders
Could you help facilitate a welcoming, safe and inclusive community group? We're looking for people who are great listeners, confident with people and passionate about bringing communities together.

You don't need to be a weightlifter.
You just need to believe in what we're trying to build.

Volunteering can be flexible around your availability, and it's a great opportunity to gain experience, use existing skills, learn new skills (training paid for) meet new people and become part of something that has real community impact. Must be willing to undertake enhanced DBS and safeguarding, option for first aid if required.
