The treehouse café and Bradford Centre for Nonviolence (BCNV) was opened on the 25th September 2006, in Desmond Tutu house, immediately opposite the University of Bradford. The site is well known for its delicious and ethical food, being for over ten years the home of the Fair Trade Café - the first fair trade café in the UK. Now it's not just a cafe, and includes a centre for the promotion for nonviolence also.
"Whenever you are sincerely pleased, you are nourished." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why volunteer? Because we need alternative non-corporate spaces in which to meet and exchange ideas...Because giving your time to help run the café means Treehouse doesn't have to compromise on the ethical sourcing of its food, while still keeping costs low - good quality, nutritious food shouldn't only be available to those who can pay more...Because you can learn (or teach us!) about cooking vegetarian and vegan food for an appreciative crowd...Because you'll get a tasty free meal every time you do a shift and a 15% discount for the rest of the week...Because you'll meet like-minded people and have a lot of fun while doing all these things!
How to get involved?Volunteering roles include...cooking for and staffing the café...producing and distributing publicity...organising events...telling stories to children in Treehouse and around Bradford with the Commonweal Storytellers...helping with ongoing decorating and maintenance...and many others.
