Volunteers wanted!

It's that time of year when Richmond Information Centre goes hunting for new volunteers.

We have one of the largest volunteer teams in the area, but we always need more.

Why? So we can provide advice and help for more hours of the day, offer new services, and replace volunteers who have moved out of the area (poor, misguided people...)

We're based in Richmond's Market Hall, where we help visitors and locals get the most out of Richmond and North Yorkshire. We answer all kinds of questions: buses, dog-friendly pubs, playgrounds, vegan meals, car-parking, genealogy, campsites in Yockenthwaite, Mallerstangdale, Crackpot and Booze... If we don't know the answer, we'll find it. We love what we do.

Our volunteers generally do a two-hour shift, once a week, but we're very flexible. We look for people who are friendly, outgoing, and happy to work with a computer. New volunteers receive training and support until they feel confident to do a shift on their own - or they can work in pairs if they prefer. If applicants have a useful background (retail, IT, marketing, whatever), we'll try to make use of it. 

Interested in joining our friendly team? Fill in our online form for more information. Or drop by and pick up a leaflet. Or visit our stall at the town market on Saturday 15 June, where you can chat with some of our volunteers and learn more.

We hope you'll join us soon!

PS: if you'd love to volunteer, but not at RIC, take a look at our Community Groups page, where there are lots of possibilities.
