The library has sections for large print, non-fiction, and various genres. An orange chair is visible in the foreground.

Give back to your community and be part of something special. The Rame Centre, Community larder, Old Ship and Meet Up have regular opening hours and depend upon the generosity of volunteers. If you have any free time, we would love to hear from you.

This opportunity will suit you if you have your own vehicle, relevant insurance and are able to lift heavy boxes.

  • Help us ensure that we have plenty of proof of how vital our services are for funders and for our annual report, this can be done in your own time and at home if easier.
