On a sunny afternoon, I had the pleasure of volunteering at Into the Park '25, Kilburn’s vibrant community festival. I joined the team around 2 PM and stayed until 4 PM, just in time to dive into the excitement and help make the day even more special.

To my delight, I was assigned one of the sweetest spots—running the baked goods and drinks stall! Armed with a fully stocked display of cakes, buns, pastries, and refreshing drinks, I quickly refreshed the setup, topped up the ice buckets, and got ready for action. I even had my own cash drawer and a card reader device—yes, I was feeling very professional.

The festival was absolutely buzzing. There was live music, local performances, family-friendly activities, and a beautiful atmosphere of community and joy. I met so many lovely people and, in just two hours, served around 50 happy customers!

Being part of this event reminded me how powerful community gatherings can be. I was proud to contribute to such a fun, inclusive, and meaningful day—especially knowing it supports mental well-being, creativity, and connection in Kilburn.

Huge thanks to the amazing team behind the festival for trusting me with the best job and making me feel so welcome. Can’t wait for the next one!
