Volunteering

Volunteers always welcome

The Centre’s activities benefit from the greatly appreciated efforts of a number of volunteers.

We can assure you that you will find the experience fun and rewarding. In particular we would welcome help with arts & craft, one-to-one cooking, adult education classes or hydrotherapy.
