Volunteers

he Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre relies on volunteers to help us run the Neighbourhood Centre and keep costs down. We are very proud of the number of volunteers associated with our Centre and the great work they do. Volunteering is a great way to meet people in the community, learn new skills or share skills and feel good about contributing.

We welcome enquiries in the following areas:

Neighbourhood News

The Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre delivers a community paper called the Surrey Hills Neighbourhood News. It is issued and delivered six times a year to all letterboxes in the postcode 3127. We are short of deliverers and would be very grateful if you could spare a few hours every second month or so.

Volunteer leaders

Many of our regular activities such as scrabble, Mah Jong, bike riding, walking groups are run by volunteers. Volunteers help set up rooms, mark off the roll and collect payments (where applicable).

Office 

Administration volunteers assist us in the office by answering phone calls, data entry and setting up rooms. We welcome enquiries if you have good computer and administration skills.

Board

The Board meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm in the Maitland Room of the Cottage at 1 Bedford Road, Surrey Hills from February to December during school term. Meetings are open to all members of the Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre Association and enquiries around membership of the Board are always welcome.

Surrey Hills Music Festival

The Neighbourhood Centre auspices this annual community event which is run by a Director who is assisted by a voluntary Steering Committee. There are also many opportunities for volunteers to assist with the Festival over the weekend it runs.
