Volunteer Week Pt.1!

In celebration of volunteer week, we wanted to spotlight our amazing volunteers that make our incredible work possible here at Bearwood Community Hub.


Also, want to make a special mention to our work experience student, taking the time to speak to volunteer who were happy to share their experiences and be mentioned on our website.
