Volunteering
Like all Societies we couldn’t function without the help of a large team of volunteers. Below are some of the ways that you could help to support your Society. If you would like to share your time, skills and enthusiasm, then we would be delighted to hear from you. Simply get in touch by email with one of the contacts below.

Supporting the Team
A strong Committee is at the heart of a successful Society so planning for succession is vital for our future health. We ‘d love to hear from you if you would be interested in joining the team.
If joining the full Committee sounds like too big a step at the moment then why not think about volunteering to help run a specific project. We would particularly love to hear from members with skills in event management, publicity design, photography or membership administration. if you would like to know more about our current opportunities then why not drop a note to our Chairman.

Reception, Bookstall and Café
We are always in need of volunteers to help organise a warm welcome for all our members. Whether it’s manning the reception desk, supporting our bookstall, or serving the tea and coffee in The Café before a lecture, your support would be very welcome. If you are a baker, a contribution of a home made cake or biscuits would be especially warmly received by our members. Contact:
For reception: Anthea at: membership.tasnw@gmail.com
For the bookstall: Jane or Rosie at:
For The Café: Caroline at:

Sharing your expertise: Arts +
If you have a passion for a particular subject, or have been a local guide, or teacher and would be willing to share your knowledge and expertise, then do get in touch. We are keen to deliver new things to our members so, if you could offer a short talk, a guided walk, a garden tour, or introduce a new skill to a small group, then let’s work together to make it happen. Contact: marketing.tasnw@gmail.com

Arts Projects
Last year we spent thousands of pounds supporting arts projects which have made a difference in our local community. If you enjoy working with young people and have an interest in helping to develop their interest in the arts then we could certainly make use of your talents.
To support our commitment to the National Children’s Book Awards we are keen to add to our pool of people willing to read picture books to primary school children between March and May 2027. If you are interested in working with young children and students or know of a community arts related activity in need of support then do get in touch at: young.arts.tasnw@gmail.com
