Additionally, there are other opportunities to contribute, such as preparing rooms for visitors, cleaning, cooking for fellow volunteers, gardening (especially during spring and summer), assisting with social media and marketing, redecorating, maintenance, and welcoming attendees to our meditation classes and events.

Initially we can only offer volunteer opportunities for two weeks. As a volunteer, you will receive free access to our meditation classes and weekend events. We do have some basic rules, such as no alcohol, drugs (including tobacco/vaping), TV, loud music, or meat/fish on-site.
In your free time there are many ways to relax; we are close to local parks and beautiful Hampstead Heath. Golders Green tube station (northern line) is only 5 minutes walk away with excellent links into central London, and there are also many bus routes and a National Express coach station.

Brenda has been an amazing help to us here. She has a very positive attitude and is always happy to help.
If she puts her mind to something she can achieve it.
She has helped with courses, classes, publicity, social media, cleaning, gardening, shopping, and is a wonderful cook. She is also a natural leader.
Thank you Brenda

I couldn't have best experience as my first voluteer work. I've met friendly people with big hearts. The work is very light, the accommodation is excellent and there is good food.

People at the center are really nice, generous and respectful. I've learnt many things talking with the residents. The room was comfortable, and the food was good! The work was sometimes a bit hard, but interesting. And London is really great!
