Whitechapel Team Challenge Days
We want volunteering at Whitechapel to
be fun, rewarding and challenging. The skills, opinions and experiences of each
volunteer are valued and we want to them to be an integral part of the
organisation.
The Whitechapel Mission began 130 years ago and much of
our work would never have been possible without the support of thousands of
volunteers. Today, volunteers play a crucial role, working with homeless
people, providing essential administrative support or raising much-needed
funds.
If you have an interest in getting people in your organisation to
work more effectively as a team, would like an icebreaker to integrate new
members into your group or would just like to organise a fun day out, then the
Whitechapel Team Challenge experience could be just what you are looking for.
The Whitechapel Team Challenge offers an unusual and cost-effective
alternative to the myriad of outdoor 'corporate training' days now on offer.
Your employees will join regular Whitechapel staff - making a real difference
for some of London's homeless while working as a team and having
fun.

Whitechapel Team Challenge
One
Kitchen duties
The Centre opens at 6am and closes at 11am each day. You will be
required to be on-site by 5:45 latest. We do have a car park available for your
vehicles.
We would expect to see over 200 people at this time of year.
We need to prepare and serve over 150 cooked breakfasts each
day.
The first
task of the day will be to prepare and serve breakfast. This requires the
preparation and cooking of bacon, sausages, beans, tomatoes and eggs. Buttering
of bread and making of toast. We will make and serve over 400 cups of tea, and
100 cups of coffee.
At 8am,
some of the group will serve breakfast, while others continue to cook more
breakfasts and others will collect plates, wipe tables and wash up. There will
be a rush at 8am for breakfast, which will last for about 20-30 minutes and
then continue for an hour or two at a steady rate.
At 9am,
we will offer clothing to those that want it. During all of the morning, we
will be giving out towels, soap, razors, shampoo and toothbrushes.
At
about 10:30am we can begin to clean the kitchens down and prepare it for the
next days group.
