"I’m delighted to be the new Volunteer Coordinator at Peterborough Cathedral. I’m passionate about volunteering! 

"My four key objectives as Volunteer Coordinator at the Cathedral are to ensure all our existing volunteers are well looked after and valued; that we recruit new volunteers; that we follow best practice in all our procedures, policies and administration; and that we improve communication to our volunteers. We are fortunate to have so many inspirational volunteers at the Cathedral whose vital contribution and commitment ensures the Cathedral can continue its mission and work.

"We are currently recruiting for Tower Tour Guides, Welcome Desk Volunteers and Visitor Learning Centre Volunteers. If you have suggestions or know anyone who would be keen to volunteer, please contact me on 01733 355304 or email volunteer.coordinator@peterborough-cathedral.org.uk."
