Volunteers needed

Our area is blessed with lots of different and varied events supplying the villages with entertainment, education, support and ‘get togethers’. All these are run by volunteers and it is thanks to them that there is such a vibrant and enthusiastic atmosphere when events are put on and appreciation of the work that goes into these.

Time and Talents is an initiative that aims to provide details of all of these varied groups in a booklet that will shortly be delivered to households in the Firsdown and Winterslow areas.

This publication highlights the work of each group in the community, their current and future aims and how best to take their initiatives and plans forward.

Whether it is for 1 hour a month, or sitting at a computer, or getting your hands dirty, there is always something that you can do to help and enhance the work already in place.

There will be a free “Communities Day” at Winterslow Village Hall on 13th April 1000-1600, where each volunteer group will have a table and a chance to meet the public (a bit like university refreshers day).

Refreshment & entertainment will be provided by volunteers on the day and the hope is to bring the community together to benefit everyone.
