Volunteer Week Pt.3!

Several of the volunteers mentioned in this post are people who had initially come to Bearwood Community Hub to attend activities that we run, and now are volunteering. This is a really good opportunity to get involved as it helps you understand what we do. Please do look at our Events page to see what is coming up.
