This National Volunteers Week, Chilton Miners Recreation Ground Welfare Charity Trust (supported by Heritage Lottery Fund) is inviting you to join something special, writes trustee, Sue Reece.
This nationwide week is all about celebrating the millions of people who make a difference across the UK. There is no better time to find out how you can be part of the team transforming our much-loved Pavilion into a vibrant new heritage centre and community archive.
Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, learn new skills, build your CV and improve your physical and mental wellbeing, alongside connecting locally and making lifelong friends.

- Archive & Research: Uncover, catalogue, and preserve local stories and photographs.
- Community Outreach: Guide visitors, run family activities, and share Chilton’s history.
- Site & Grounds: Help maintain and develop the Miners’ Welfare Recreation Ground.
