 Join Black Culture Market for their Spring Event
Black Culture Market was established to celebrate black culture and commerce in the local community. The event gives entrepreneurs of all ages of African and Caribbean descent visibility for them to flourish and make cultural products more accessible. With just 0.24% of capital in the UK going to black entrepreneurs (0.02% to black female entrepreneurs) access to early-stage capital is limited. BCM aims to bridge the gap by encouraging communities to shop small with black-owned businesses.
On Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th April, Black Culture Market will take place in The Department Store, Brixton from 11am to 5pm (public times). Plans are in place to make it an even greater success than last year, so there is a lot to do! Black Culture Market needs people who can help set up (Friday 5th April), meet and greet guests at reception (Sat 6th April - Sun 7th April) and/or help pack it away (Sunday 7th April).
Support needed is as follows:
Friday 5th April - Set up is 9.30am to 1pm
Saturday 6th April - 9.30am - 1.30pm or 1.30 - 5.30pm - Event Support (or full day)
Sunday 7th April - 10.30am - 2.30pm or 2pm - 7pm - Event Support and pack down (or full day)
They particularly need people for Sunday.
If you have the stamina to do all 3 phases that would be amazing but being part of any phase would be great - (for at least 4 hours ideally at the beginning or end of the shift).
If you’d like to know more about what is involved please get in touch with Black Culture Market.
 Last Chance to Join 2024 Volunteer training sessions at Brixton Windmill
'Amazing', 'awesome', 'brilliant' - just some of the comments left by the 750 visitors who were given guided tours of Brixton Windmill last year, thanks to the hard work and expertise of their volunteer tour guides. The Windmill's stewards, cafe and shop volunteers also contributed to a happy experience for visitors of all ages. They are now seeking new volunteers to bring their tour guide numbers up to strength, as well as stewards, cafe and shop volunteers, who also support special events, such as the Harvest Festival and Winter Market.

Guides and stewards
This session covers the story of the 200-year-old windmill, and milling generally, as well as volunteer roles, policies and procedures. It's suitable for both guide and steward recruits, including a session in the windmill itself for those wishing to become tour guides. Sunday 10 March - 10.30 to 12.30
Cafe volunteers
The Brixton Windmill cafe is open for events and open days and occasional weekday openings. A training/refresher session for cafe volunteers will be held at the cafe on Sunday 10 March, 1pm to 2.30pm.
