Please note: all people who work with children must first be checked and cleared by the Criminal Records Bureau.

GENERAL VACANCIES

The business of the Parish is run by volunteers, and anyone with a background in architecture, surveying, finance or law is especially welcome.
Many of our social groups need people to help organise events or to make the tea.

COMMUNITY
Our Community Audit found many organisations who were short of volunteers. If you are looking for an opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and feel the glow of having made a difference, then consider whether you could give a few hours of your time.

KINGSTON HOSPITAL: the Chaplaincy Department is putting together teams of Volunteer Visitors, to provide spiritual, pastoral and religious support for the patients, their relatives and friends, and the staff. If you could help, please contact The Chaplain, Kingston Hospital, Galsworthy Road, Kingston KT2 7QB.

KINGSTON UNIVERSITY: if you are able to welcome a student into your home for Christmas Day, or for an occasional weekend lunch, please contact the Chaplain, the Revd Stan Brown on 020 8547 7311 or by email to stanbrown@kingston.ac.uk

Please contact the Parish Office for any of these opportunities.
