Volunteers

Not all of us can provide financial support when donating to a community organisation but your time is just as valuable. Please think about donating some of your time and skills to the centre. There are many ways you can help. We have gardens in need of tender loving care on an ongoing basis. Perhaps you have skills in finance and administration, or you’d love to help out in our gift shop, or you’re a handy man or lady who can help us with our ongoing maintenance. The list goes on.

The centre is a vibrant and fun place to be part of and we’re always very grateful to receive assistance from our volunteers. Please get in touch if you are interested in volunteering with us.
