Volunteer Open Day at The Bureau a huge success

The Bureau, Glossop's community wellbeing charity, held an Open Day last Saturday (8 January) to recruit new volunteers and encourage people to find out what they do.

The day was a huge success, considering the awful Glossop weather. 

Fi Nelson, Volunteer Coordinator, said: "The number of people who came out to see us on such a miserable wet day was wonderful.

"We registered 15 expressions of interest in volunteering on the day and also enabled some of our current volunteers to look into further additional roles with us. 

"We would like to thank everyone who came and also a big thank you to our current amazing volunteers who called in on the day to help us out." 

If you couldn’t make it on Saturday but would like to find out more about volunteering, you can contact The Bureau on 01457 865722.

  • The signs they are a changin'

    It was the end of an era at Whitfield Community Centre this week as the old Derbyshire County Council signage was removed to make way for new ones. Whitfield Together, the group that bought the Centre for the community, is refreshing the Centre's image. Its new logo will soon go up on the front of the building. Gerry Dominey told us, "It seemed like a significant moment when we took the sign down. It was as if we were saying that the Centre is ours now and we can put our paw print on it. And that felt good."
