The White Room Creative Space

We wanted to celebrate National Volunteer week and our wonderful team of volunteers by sharing some of the impact volunteers are having in The White Room.

A huge thanks to our team and all those that volunteer across the country, so many community organisations depend on your support!

If you are keen to volunteer at The White Room or learn more about what is involved please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
