The Hub that serves the community so well wouldn’t be the same without our amazing, dedicated team of volunteers. They donate their time and expertise to our services and gain a lot in return. We offer training, opportunities to work in teams, run activities, work experience, skills in health and safety, you can gain a DBS check (which you can take to other employers) and much more. Our volunteers make the service what it is, but we are always looking for more.
Every volunteer undergoes an induction before starting at the library. Where they will be working with vulnerable groups, such as children or dependent adults, we request a DBS check, which we pay for. We also plan to offer a time-banking service. So you volunteer some of your skilled time and get something back in return.
If you wish to volunteer or have any further queries, please email our volunteer coordinator Anne Henderson at mancgeordie@hotmail.co.uk, or come in and visit us at the hub. We’re always looking for volunteers and very much look forward to having you on board! You’ll meet an amazing and supportive group of people, contribute towards and gain both employment and life skills.
