Give a Little, Gain a Lot: The Joy of Volunteering at Pendennis Community Centre

At Pendennis Community Centre, volunteers are the beating heart of everything we do. Since our reopening, it’s been our dedicated team of volunteers who have brought energy, compassion, and community spirit into every corner of the centre.

Whether you're welcoming visitors in the cafe, helping run a toddler group, or lending a hand at special events, volunteering with us isn't just about giving your time, it's about discovering connection, purpose, and joy.

Why Volunteer?
