What Is Volunteering?

Stewards, lesson readers, servers are all part of the volunteer team, as are the coffee/tea makers after the service. This is hugely helpful so if you are interested, there are many different ways you can help.

Welcoming – We urgently need more welcomers to join the team. It needs just 2 hours a week of your time, and is about greeting visitors, and answering their questions or referring them on.
Training is given, and there are lots of leaflets to hand out. No need to be a regular worshipper.
Helping during worship – stewards, lesson readers, servers are all part of the volunteer team, as are the coffee/tea makers after the service.
Helping in the shop – again, 2 hours a week is ideal, and some training would be given

Other Ways To Volunteer

As well as the above, there are several other ways you can help, depending on your interests and available time.

Helping out at events – with chair moving, stewarding, refreshments, ticket selling, running stalls at the bazaar, assisting at Open Days etc.
Newport Nightshelter – helping to host overnight accommodation at the Cathedral, for homeless people during the winter months.
Music – Music is a strong tradition at the Cathedral. There is a regular choir of adults and children, always looking for new recruits. There is also a more informal voluntary choir that sings when the regular choir is absent.
The Churchyard – assisting the small team that works in the churchyard, and other outdoor work.
