Castle Community Office is able to open six
days a week thanks to the regular commitment and assistance of a team of
volunteers. Each volunteer brings a unique set of skills and experience and
all are encouraged to share their knowledge and develop new skills. All
volunteers make a direct and valued contribution to the work of Castle
Community Office. Volunteers are currently working together to write
and deliver beginners computer classes and have assisted with
website creation and computer maintenance.
The following list provides a general guide to
the activities undertaken by volunteers:

Assisting with a broad range of customer
enquiries including signposting and retrieving information from leaflets and
the Internet
Computer access
Assisting customers in the use of computers,
scanners and printers on request
Office

Community
newsletter
When funding permits, a newsletter
is produced and this will involve volunteers in marketing, research,
graphics and word processing
Gift cards
Making items to sell to raise
extra funds
As stated above, the skills and interests of
each volunteer will to an extent determine which activities they may become
involved with and specific projects may be created according to their
interests and abilities.
All volunteers have free access to the
computers and the opportunity to receive more formal training as
appropriate.
If you live in the Scarborough area and are
interested in volunteering please call in to discuss this and pick up an
