A wide variety of volunteering opportunities will soon be available at HaverHub, the new community-led regeneration development at the Old Post Office in Quay St, Haverfordwest. A surge in demand for volunteering opportunities during COVID-19 has been reported by organisations such as PAVS, as people want to make new friends, gain work experience, help support their community, share time and skills or simply enjoy being part of a like-minded team.
“Whatever their motivation, people in the Haverfordwest area will find a wide range of opportunities available shortly at Haverhub as the community venue gears up for its opening later this summer. Anyone interested in getting involved can contact us about the following voluntary and paid positions”
said Gitti Coats, Project Founder.
The voluntary opportunities soon to be on offer will include:
- Front of house receptionists
- Admin assistants
- Event and venue assistants to help preparing the spaces for various events, activities and bookings
- Helping with ticket office and cashier duties for Haverhub events
- Assisting public generally, including showing people around
- Catering and bar roles
- Caretakers and maintenance
- Creative opportunities to design and decorate areas for various activities and developing the community garden space
“The variety of roles on offer will provide locals, of all ages and backgrounds, with a chance to try different roles as part of a wide team of ‘HaverHelpers’. Volunteers will receive a good level of support and training, where needed, to increase their skills and confidence. There will be opportunities right across the week, evenings and weekends, so join us and be part of something new and exciting!”
explains James Cordell, newly appointed Volunteer Coordinator for Haverhub.
