I liked the amount of international travels you get to meet and how organized the schedule was throughout the week. You can tell they make an effort to have a very structure system with all of the volunteers. The surroundings are beautiful and everyone was friendly.

I was a volunteer in the cafe and overall it was a great experience! The cafe does get very busy and could be a bit overwhelming at times when we were short on volunteers, but managers were respectful of our time and helped train us to be prepared! The woods and bay nearby are gorgeous and it is about a 40-45 minute into Ulverston which is such a lovely town :) From Ulverston, you can take a bus up to other areas of the Lake District on your days off!

My experience at the project was really lovely. I worked at the café and loved the energy of the place. I felt comfortable and welcomed from the beginning, and I really appreciated the kindness and respect of the managers. The hospitality I received made me feel part of the community. I also valued the opportunity to meet people from different places and, especially, to deepen my understanding of Buddhist philosophy. I'm leaving with beautiful memories and a very meaningful experience.
