    Why Volunteer?

    Volunteering at The Gasworks Sudbury is a great opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills and make a real impact in creating a welcoming community space for Sudbury Parish and its visitors.
    We welcome families that would like to volunteer together. Volunteering as a family gives you the chance to spend quality time together without the costs of a traditional day out. Volunteering as a family is suitable for children aged 10 and up. We are open to discussions around age based on your individual circumstances.

    Available Volunteering Areas

    Currently we have a range of volunteer activities that are looking for support in the following areas. Once the building is complete we will have more activities to add.
