Retail Volunteer Roles
Barley Mow Village Hall relies almost completely upon the hard work, commitment and goodwill of people who give up some of their time to volunteer.
We have a small fine team but desperately need more folk willing to help out.
We are particularly looking for people who can provide help in the kitchen to help expand our Warm Spaces (free food & a warm space to anyone who needs it).

We are a friendly bunch and you will get much enjoyment from working in the fast paced centre.
