Do you like meeting new people? Are you good at chatting to people you’ve just met?

If the answer to these questions is yes, you could be what we’re looking for!

Sessions take place on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Volunteers host tea, cake, and activities with Canley residents, over 50 years old, at the Canley Community Centre. Volunteers help with the delivery of these activities, like crafts with a theme, and provide friendly conversation. 

Spencers Retreat is a fun, safe and understanding environment for children with special needs and their families. The aim of Spencer's Retreat is that families can access the space to create positive experiences and memories for the whole family without the stress and anxiety that may be caused by visiting other attractions.

The session is at Canley Library on Saturday, 4th April, 1:30-2:30 pm;. It is all about bringing the community together through art, creativity, and connection. Volunteers will help set up materials, support children and families as they take part in craft activities, and make sure everyone has a great time. It is a lovely opportunity to share your creativity, build confidence working with children, and make a positive difference in the local community. All materials will be provided, and bus fares can be reimbursed. Just bring your enthusiasm and a smile!
