A VOLUNTEER fair is to be held in Wokingham town centre next week, and organisers are hoping people will respond to the King’s invitation to help out in the community.
Wokingham Volunteer Centre is organising the event in the wake of other gatherings held in Arborfield and Lower Earley libraries and the new School Green Centre in Shinfield.
Helena Badger, from the Wokingham Volunteer Centre, said: “In conjunction with the King’s Coronation, the Big Help Out is being launched on Monday, May 8, with the aim of promoting volunteering.
“Our Volunteer Fair, being held only couple of days after the initiative starts, is a fantastic opportunity to meet local charities and organisations looking for local volunteers.
“It a chance for you to see what suits your skills, availability and passions – there really is something for everyone.”
Groups taking part will include the Link Visiting Scheme, ABC to Read, First Days, the Me2 Club, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Berkshire Remap, Wokingham and Earley Transport Scheme, and the Wokingham Borough Library Service.
The event will be held in Wokingham Library in Carnival Leisure Centre, from 10am to noon on Wednesday, May 10.
