Role

This role will support us over the summer (you are welcome to continue after if you wish.)
During the summer months we welcome between 100-200 visitors per week and provide both indoor and outdoor activities.
This is essentially doubling our normal offer and requires extra hands to help manage the large space and number of people.
Tasks will include; setting up and taking down gazebos and outdoor activities, preparing lunches and helping guide the lunchtime ques, participating in and supervising activities, engaging with visitors, helping keep the space clean tidy and safe.
We are happy to receive help with specific areas. e.g. set up or down only, preparing lunches, supervising activities, and appreciate any volunteers who are willing to move between tasks.
We also welcome help even if it is for only 1 of the the 6 weeks between 25th July and 28th August.
