Flo’s is a community run organisation. We are have high hopes and big plans for the future of the centre- and we want to it to be welcoming to all. We were set up by volunteers and still heavily rely on volunteers to keep things running.
Join our upcoming volunteer meetings on Tuesday the 6th of November at 10am to hear more about our ideas and also to share your ideas about how you can help.
If you have any skills you would like to share with the centre please do let us know. We’d love to hear from you!
If you can’t make these times please email us on info@flosoxford.org.uk or sign up to our volunteers’ mailing list below:
We are currently looking for volunteers in the following roles. This list is not complete – so let us know if you’d like to volunteer in a different way.
Very soon, Flo’s will be opening a small craft materials stall on a weekly basis, to support craft making and help us raise funds that will contribute towards keeping Flo’s open for everyone.
If you are interested in supporting us in this way for 2 hours a week, Flo’s please get in touch! We are looking for people who can give a regular weekly commitment from November onwards, or are willing to offer cover as needed.
No previous experience is needed. We will provide you with shop training and will supervise you on your first shift, you will never be left alone in the building and there is an endless supply of tea and biscuits! Regular time we need volunteers are:
- Tuesdays 2:30pm-4:30pm
- Wednesday 10am-12pm
- Thursday 2:30-4:30pm
- Sunday 2:30-4:30pm
Flo’s is very lucky to have a large and beautiful garden- with a walnut tree, beds edible herbs, a little lawn and many flowers. We need help with regular tasks like weeding, watering, mowing, washing, sweeping etc.

- Making the notice boards look great
- Deep cleaning every now and then
- Emergency light testing once per month
- Painting
- LOTS MORE!
