The Accidental Volunteer Society: A story of tea, chaos, and finding your purpose completely by mistake (Humour in Humanity)

The feel-good comedy about finding purpose in the most unlikely places. Sam wasn’t looking for a cause. She was just looking for a reason to get out of bed before midday. One slightly soggy biscuit and a poorly considered Google search later, she finds herself deep in the strange and brilliant world of volunteering - from charity-shop chaos to emotional chihuahuas, bingo-night controversies to budget sheets covered in glitter. But when she ropes in her equally unprepared friends - Jen, Mo, Tasha and Lee - something starts to happen. Something warm, wobbly, and wonderfully human. Together, they create The Workshop Café: a ramshackle community space where people share what they know, show up for each other, and discover that even the smallest acts can ripple outwards. This isn’t a guidebook. It’s not a plan. It’s a very British kind of love story - about community, confidence, and what happens when you stop waiting to feel useful and just start. Expect: Laugh-out-loud moments and heart-squeezing truths Big emotions, small actions, and endless cups of tea A story about friendship, purpose and ordinary people doing extraordinary things From bestselling author Christopher Hall - creator of The Forget Me Not Chronicles - comes a funny, hopeful novel celebrating the chaos and kindness of volunteering. No capes. No heroes. Just one kettle, five oddballs, and a whole lot of heart. Buy now in paperback or on Kindle and join The Workshop Café.
