Volunteering at the Centre
The Volunteer Project here at
the Centre aims to provide both activities and services to our local
community together with opportunities for volunteering.
At present we have an average
of 15 volunteers who work in a variety of different ways to ensure
that the activities within the Centre run smoothly.

about volunteering opportunities.
In
conjunction with Age Concern we also run weekly and 'one off' activities
for the over 55’s
Tea Dances Free to over
55’s
If you are over 55 and enjoy dancing, or
wish to try, then our tea dances may be just for you. Mainly sequence
dancing we do however throw in a little line dancing too. Dances are
held in the Main Hall.
Chair Based Exercise
Tuesday 1pm –2pm
Over 55’s chair based exercise with a
qualified instructor.
Along side regular weekly activities of the
Centre there are 'one off' or annual activities
Each year we provide a ‘Family Christmas’
for those within our community who might otherwise spend Christmas
alone. This is provided purely by donations and the commitment of our
volunteers and is a much valued and appreciated service. The Centre
makes and delivers Christmas Hampers to families in need who are
referred to us by various agencies. With the generous donations of toys
and food generated from local Churches and individuals and the
assistance of volunteers to sort, pack and deliver, we aim to provide a
little extra for those families who are vulnerable.
