Good News Shed volunteers

The Good News Shed is a project for people of all ages.

Basically, it’s a larger version of the typical shed you might find in the garden. But it’s so much more, too!

It is a place of skill-sharing and informal learning, of individual pursuits and community projects. Members work together on projects of their own choosing, at their own pace and in a safe, friendly and inclusive environment. It is a place of leisure where people come together to connect and work.

• The volunteer should enjoy being part of a community, able to develop good relationships with the members.

Practical Considerations

There is on site parking.

The Hillview Good News Centre is a short walk from Lewes Road, which is a popular bus route.

Good News Shed is open every Tuesday and Friday, 10am-4pm. We are looking for volunteers who could commit one or two days a week.

The volunteer may like to arrive a bit earlier, and leave a bit later, so as to assist in setting up and closing down.
