Volunteer Centre to hold 50th anniversary recruitment fair

A volunteer recruitment fair will held to mark a charity’s anniversary.

The Volunteer Centre West Berkshire is holding its annual Volunteer Recruitment Fair on Saturday, January 13, at the Corn Exchange.

But this one is special as it marks the charity’s 50th anniversary.

Newbury’s MP Laura Farris, West Berkshire Council chairman Jeremy Cottam and Newbury and Thatcham mayors Nigel Foot and Mark Lillycrop will be attending.

The event will be running from 10am until 2.30pm and is a way to showcase local volunteering organisations – and ways the public can volunteer.

Last year, the event boasted a record attendance by the public visiting 55 charities.
