Art and health activities
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help deliver arts and health activities in community buildings across Wyre. You will be fully supported to lead arts and crafts sessions to help people in our communities to learn fun and creative things and enjoy relaxed, social get togethers.

Activities include our Reminiscence Sessions, that invite people to see our interesting displays of old artefacts and objects, decades scrapbooks, and more.
