Breathing Places Weekend at BEES UNR.

Volunteer opportunities
We would welcome support from volunteers to help the weekend be a success.
Please contact the office if you would like to volunteer. Please state the time (we are 'open to the public' 11-4 but will be preparing and clearing before and after) and day you would like to volunteer and if you have a preference for which activites you would like to support, or if you just wish to be on hand to chat with visitors and show people around. There will be refreshments served all day so we also need help with making teas and coffees.
