Could you lend a hand?

A message from volunteer coordinator Jenny Daniels

Without the loyal support of our regular C&TA volunteers it would be very difficult to stage public events like exhibitions and fashion shows.

But we do need more volunteers to spread the load a bit. 

As well as safeguarding our displays, you'll meet interested visitors and I, for one, always learn something new.

If you're wondering whether this is something you might like to do, rest assured - it's not hard work, usually very enjoyable, and you don't need to be an expert, just an enthusiast.

At our fashion shows, we rely not only on our lovely C&TA models, but also those volunteers who are willing to help out backstage in the 'quick change' department, something that is great fun.

So next time there is an appeal for volunteers, do please consider giving it a go. No experience is necessary and there is always a committee member on hand for support and guidance if required. You get involved in the C&TA and meet other members.

If you need any more information, please don't hesitate to contact me: 01603 452236 or mandj.daniels@waitrose.com.

Our volunteers say: 

'It's a good experience

to be able to get close up

to the exhibits and really

inspect them when quiet

periods happen'



'We talk, we learn (and

we laugh), we get to know

other members - and there is

​ always a committee member

there for help and advice'
