“We are currently looking for new committee members who can spare a few hours to assist in the running of the centre, attending monthly meetings, helping arrange and set up for activities and chatting with members.
“We are also looking for tea bar volunteers for a couple of hours per week. Duties include serving tea and coffee, keeping the kitchen area tidy and chatting to our members.”
