Newton Primary School Support Bank Volunteers

Volunteers are the driving force behind our work, and we would like to welcome anyone who would like to help us out by giving something back to the community. Volunteering hours may be flexible, and you can volunteer out with the support bank contact hours.

Volunteers can choose whether to volunteer at the stores without face-toface contact, or else meet directly with the people visiting the support bank.

Support bank is open Tuesdays and Fridays 12pm to 2:30pm yet any other hours are considered.

Do you enjoy making a difference in people's lives?
