Join our volunteer team and help us make, welcome, care, connect and create positive change in the local community.
Could you be one of our next volunteers at The Exchange? We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic people to help us care for our building, welcome visitors, support creative activity and keep our free community space open to all.
Volunteering with us is a chance to meet new people, build confidence, learn or share practical skills, support local projects and contribute to a more connected, sustainable and welcoming community. Whether you have specialist experience, a few hours to spare, or simply a willingness to get stuck in, we’d love to hear from you.
There are lots of ways to get involved. You could join our TEX Maker community and work alongside others in ceramics, textiles or timber; help care for, maintain and develop our beautiful community garden - recently featured on BBC Gardeners' World; help in the shop and coffee bar by welcoming visitors and supporting day-to-day activity; lend a hand with practical handyperson tasks; help look after our building and shared spaces through facilities support such as litter picking, tidying and keeping areas safe, clean and welcoming; become an ambassador for The Exchange by sharing what we do with visitors and the wider community; or support the team behind the scenes with administration.
You do not need to be an expert to volunteer with us. We welcome people who are experienced, people who are learning, and people who are curious to try something new. What matters most is that you are open, reliable, friendly and interested in supporting the values and vision of The Exchange.
All you need to do is fill in a form and return it to us so we can understand what you are interested in, and whether what we do might work for you. You will be added to a Mailing List so you can hear first about new projects, and any updates on ongoing activities.
