Volunteers needed

The youth club is run entirely by volunteers and is always looking for new people to join the team. Volunteers must be aged 16 or over, and no experience is required. Training and safeguarding checks are provided.

Steve Walley, Chairman of Crossroads Youth Club, said:
“Crossroads has always been about creating a safe and fun place for children to enjoy themselves, try new things and meet friends. We’d love to hear from anyone who can join our team of volunteers and help us continue that tradition.”

Anyone interested in volunteering or finding out more can get in touch via the Crossroads Youth Club Facebook page.
