Activities Volunteers
We are always looking for new ways to engage and stimulate our day club members here at the Heather Club. In the past we have had everything from musicians to local choirs to artists who have come in to run sessions for our members (see our Facebook page for more details). We'd love to hear from any individuals, groups or organisations who would be happy to donate their time to come and visit the Heather Club and entertain our attendees, either as a one off or as a regular session - if this is you, please do get in touch
If you’d like to make a Commitment to Volunteer today, just get in touch and we’ll take care of all the details with you.
