Get Involved

Although we employ paid staff, we couldn’t manage without our volunteers. We’re always looking for new recruits, so if you’d like to join the team, or have a skill or an idea that will improve the way we serve the community, we’d love to hear from you. Email us, contact us by phone or better still, call in at The George and speak to one of us in person.

The Help We Need

There are lots of ways you can help:

Serving customers in the café
Running the bar at our evening events
Delivering leaflets and posters
Washing aprons and tea towels
Watering plants in the courtyard
Painting and decorating
Fixing things when they go wrong
Helping to run our toolshare scheme.

We also need people with business and financial skills to help with bookkeeping, admin and marketing. If you can help, or know of someone who can, please let us know.

The Rewards

Volunteering isn’t just about practical help. It’s about making friends, learning new skills, gaining confidence and being part of a team. Everyone has something special to give, and we’ll help you find the role that’s right for you. We’ll also give you a full training so that you can feel completely confident from Day One.
