Today is the last day of volunteers week 💫 and we couldn’t let it go by without saying a heartfelt thank you to the incredible people who give their time, skills and energy to Armathwaite Old School Hall.

We’re lucky to have a small army of volunteers. From our truly dedicated committee members who help keep everything running behind the scenes, to our café team, gardeners, bakers, music organisers and practical problem-solvers.

We have people who organise events, make cakes, serve teas and coffees, pull weeds, maintain the building, care for our outdoor spaces, arrange entertainment, support community activities and help make the hall a welcoming place for everyone.

There’s also always someone that is doing the washing up 🧼 🧽

Some people volunteer every week. Some help occasionally when they can. Some quietly get on with jobs that nobody notices until they stop being done.

Like many community organisations, the Old School Hall simply couldn’t do what it does without volunteers. Every hour given helps create opportunities for people to connect, learn, celebrate and belong.

To every single volunteer – thank you. Your contribution really does make a difference to our community.

A huge thank you to all our Hi-Viz Heroes and to everyone who came along and played a part in both The Big Help Out and The Big Lunch 💛

Around 20 amazing volunteers gave their time in the morning, helping with jobs around the village and showing what community spirit really looks like. Then we welcomed more than 40 people to The Big Lunch, sharing food, conversation and plenty of laughter.

It was a great day and a fantastic effort from so many people. Whether you litter picked, weeded, cleaned, baked, organised, brought a dish to share, helped with the washing up or simply came along and joined in – thank you.

Days like this remind us that community isn’t just a place we live; it’s something we create together.

Here’s to many more moments of neighbourliness, kindness and rolling up our sleeves for each other. 👏🦺🥪☀️
