There is a range of voluntary opportunities: indoors and outdoors, skilled and unskilled, regular and casual.

We also offer fun and inspiring children’s events during the school holidays for children aged 3 - 11 years old. We are looking to recruit education volunteers to assist with school groups and events. This position would suit somebody who enjoys working with children and has an interest in teaching.
