Events Volunteer

Role

We have several monthly activities, including Slow Stitching, Sunrise Dips and Beach Hut Days.

Slow stitching is a relaxing, stitching and embroidery session designed to promote self-care and mindfulness by stitching personal and meaningful messages onto squares of fabric.

Sunrise Dips are cold water sessions in the sea followed by hot drinks and a hot breakfast.

At these events, be a friendly face that makes everyone feel welcome and know that they belong: welcome people, help people calm their nerves, notice who looks isolated from the group and help them feel part of the community
