During the first week of June, hundreds of events and celebrations are held across the UK, recognising the value of volunteers. Volunteers’ Week gives a chance to say thank you to all the volunteers who give their time to make amazing contributions to organisations, including Cranleigh Arts Centre.
The Arts Centre was set up in 1978, when local communities came together to create a platform for a diverse range of arts activities, which aim “to enrich, entertain and inspire.” With now over 100 volunteers donating their time, the Arts Centre is currently the largest volunteer organisation in Cranleigh.
Today, the volunteers remain at the heart of the organisation, so as a personal thank you, on Thursday 6th June, Cranleigh Arts Centre hosted a volunteer’s tea and coffee morning, with free refreshments, including homemade cakes, for all those who give their time to help out. Our volunteers play a vital role and are the key to the success of the Arts Centre.
If you are interested in finding out more, or becoming a volunteer, please visit our Volunteering Page, or contact our Volunteer Coordinator Katie Wilson at katie@cranleighartscentre.org.
A very big thank you from us all!
