The Joy of Volunteering
The Hub relies heavily on the generosity of our many volunteers. With the support of our employed staff and trustees some thirty people already enjoy the friendly and supportive social interactions that stem from their volunteering as well as the satisfaction of serving their community. The Hub operates in every sphere of the age range from babies to those who are more elderly.
Jill is one of our coffee bar volunteers. she won’t mind us telling you she is 92 and spends a couple of hours each week working behind the counter for the after-school coffee bar. The young people love her, she is like everyone’s grandmother and just as cheeky.

Steve has been faithfully driving his car every Thursday morning to ensure that three of our Thursday club members arrive on time and get home safely. Without him these three ladies would spend most of their time alone at home. His help means they get to join in with the happy and fulfilling atmosphere that the Thursday’s senior group enjoy.

We have volunteering opportunities to suit everyone: young and old; those with plenty of time and those with just a little. Some are on a weekly rota, others just help when they are free. We have those who work mainly from home on our telephone help line. Some want training to grow their skills and experience others just the satisfaction of doing something for someone else. All share on thing in common - THEY LOVE IT. It’s great fun and brings them a wider circle of friends.
