Would you like to give something back to your local community, meet new people or use your skills to support a local charity?

Cobnor Activities Centre Trust is looking for friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to help with a range of activities.

Opportunities could include:

Not sure whether volunteering with us is for you? Come along to our friendly Volunteer Open Evening on 22 August, from 6:00pm–8:00pm.

You can meet the team, look around the centre, hear about the different ways you could get involved and ask any questions over a cuppa. There is absolutely no commitment, just come along for an informal chat and see whether Cobnor might be right for you.
