There is no one kind of person who comes to L'Arche London. We are very diverse in terms of ethnicity, nationality, educational background, religion, age, and LGBTQ+ identity.

Some previous experience of party planning would be beneficial but it's not a problem if not. Enthusiasm, organisation, and a willingness to collaborate are important.
