Using the JOIN resources: How these churches recruited more volunteers
Real life stories of how these resources can be used to recruit volunteers with children, young people and families
USING THE JOIN RESOURCES TO recruit new volunteers helped establish Refresh Café at St Mark’s, Woking into a vibrant, thriving community hub. What makes the café truly special is the way the team has become like one family—people who genuinely love, support, and care for one another as they serve.
Volunteers speak about the deep joy and fulfilment they experience as they give their time to God and the local community, discovering that the Refresh Café is not just a place to help, but a place to belong.
