Volunteering

At the West London Buddhist Centre we are looking to develop a completely different way of being together. One based purely on open handed giving just for the meaning and connection that comes with it.

Opportunities

There are many ways to volunteer at the centre and we want to offer opportunities to anyone looking to join this network of giving and friendship. Some examples of things you could do are:

Helping on reception
Cleaning the centre
Working in Marketing and Social Media
Being on class teams
Offering your specialised skills

Take the next step by volunteering at the WLBC

Send us an email with your skills and preferences to get involved today!

Run by volunteers

Our model of giving means that teachers volunteer their time for free. And those that help support classes and retreats do so as volunteers. Those that work at the centre do so not for a salary but a support package that allows them to live simply.

All classes are free

Our classes are free of charge and based on donations. Giving open handedly is the basis of a Buddhist community and a key part of spiritual practise.

A growing Sangha

It is also a fundamental part of our Buddhist practice which emphasises service to others as a vital part to growing as an individual. It is the basis for our network of friendship and connection.

Hear from our volunteers

Milly (Reception)

"The receptionist is the first person that they see when they come through the door for the first time. I believe who is pleasant and genuine at the front is so important for people who are coming through that door."

Jane (Volunteer Bookshop Manager)

"I love being part of the Centre because reminds me why Buddhism is such an important practice and also because it restores my faith in humanity”

Pam (Volunteer PR & Media Coordinator)

“I've felt inspired to volunteer as someone who regularly comes to the centre to the meditation classes on a Saturday and wanted to give back to the community and really enjoyed the space and want to be part of a team, who is compassionate to everyone that walks through the door.”
