Bring your people skills and make a difference to the lives of local people in your community. DCF’s Unity Junction are seeking volunteers to support with community events and drop-ins happening in the space.

For adults & over-60s: Friendly tea-and-cake drop-ins, bingo club, mindful wellness activities, inter-generational projects. Wellbeing art sessions and yoga/wellness series open to the public. As a Unity Junction Sessional Volunteer, typical tasks include: Welcoming people into the space and explaining what we do. Making hot drinks/refreshments. Supporting services delivering events/sessions by setting up the room (if you are able to), chatting to service-users and making people feel at ease. Potential to open and lock up the venue in the future, if all parties are confident in this.
