Subject - Basement Social Centre needs YOU

ReplyPosted : (Monday 4th September 2006 ) By - Jane (Registered User)YOUR Basement Social Centre needs YOU to keep running and open, to offer free internet access, to offer free printing service for asylum seekers and refugees, to offer free meeting space to all manner of social justice and activist groups unable to afford room hire in Manchester City Centre, to offer free activist library service and to offer the cheapest organic vegan food in the Northern Quarter served in the Basement Cafe 12pm - 3pm Wednesday - Saturday !

If you have ever used The Basement Social Centre for a meeting or have been unable to hang out here this week due to the unforeseen temporary closure, or simply have any free time to spare, please get in touch, as this is YOUR radical, independent, non-corporate, non-hierarchical, creative, chilled-out and social space in Manchester City Centre - Use It Or Lose It !

If you only have 1 hour to spare, or are able to help out in the running of The Basement Bookshop, The Basement Cafe, The Basement Art Space or The Basement IT Group (Meets Friday afternoons), then please get in touch - they will gladly train and support new volunteers, no expert skills required!

The Basement Social Centre is a great social space to meet new people, learn new skills, get involved in groups and campaigns, surf the net and if you are available for 1 full shift, sample the wonderful homemade organic vegan food for free !

The Basement weekly rota for the Cafe and Bookshop is divided into 2 shifts, you can easily add your self to the rota situated behind and to the left of the Cafe Counter:-
Cafe only serves food 12pm - 3pm Wednesday - Saturday only.
Shifts - Tuesday - Saturday 11am - 3pm.
Shifts - Tuesday - Saturday 3pm - 6pm.

NB - They usually set-up the space between 11am - 12pm, then open the doors 12pm.

It's really easy to get in touch, put yourself down for 1 shift on the rota, put on an event in your social space or find out what's going on at The Basement, just use the following contact details:-
