Woking Council's Volunteer Fair

The search for more volunteers to help run Woking Area u3a went up a gear when we took part in Woking Council's Volunteer Fair on November 7.
Committee members, helped by Jan Barber, spent four hours joining around 50 other charities publicising themselves and attracting volunteers. A number of members - and a few non-members - came forward to offer their services and they will be asked to attend a meeting where we hope to match their skills with our vacancies.
As well as Jan, Sue Holmes, Alan Chalmers, Derek Hancock and Peter Grieve greeted visitors to the stall, flanked by our two new popup banners. The event, filling the main hall at Woking Leisure Centre, was opened by the Mayor of Woking Councillor Louise Morales and addressed by MP Will Forster.
