Volunteering

Volunteer NOW !

Have you thought about volunteering to help others within Austrey Village?  Volunteers are important and they make a real difference to the lives of other people, our community and the environment.

What are we looking for ?

We are looking to build a resource bank of people who can be called when there is a specific project to be carried out, or for ongoing help around the village.  Examples or how you might help could include (but are not limited to):

• Tubs and hanging baskets - donations of annual flowering plants, planting up, watering
• Ongoing village maintenance - painting the railings at the children’s play area at Austrey Playing Fields, painting the bus shelter
• Newsletter – submitting articles or helping with deliveries
• Emergency contacts – do you have skills that could be of help in a major emergency (flood, winter freeze etc).  This could be plumbing services, help delivering goods to the elderly, or disabled etc.
• Volunteer Drivers Needed - Have you got a car? Do you want to do something to help your community? Can you spare a few hours a week?  Beeline pay tax free mileage expenses and insurance cover. To find out more about beeing a volunteer please call 01827 717074 or visit www.beelinect.org.uk
