Volunteering

As The Link Centre will be a seven-day-a-week community venue, we are starting to look for volunteers from the local community to help with the smooth running of the venue.

With so many different types of events happening throughout our various spaces, from community events to public events, there will be a wide selection volunteering roles available.

We appreciate everyone has different levels of existing commitments. Our flexible volunteering roles will be designed so that people can offer to do hours that work alongside their other commitments.
