This week we are celebrating

⭐ One of our young people shared how "I love volunteering at the Heritage Centre because it helps me grow and develop many skills. It also serves as a way of connecting and helping in a meaningful way. Also at the end of the day I feel that I have served my community and made a positive impact on others lives."

Harry has worked hard supporting the Future of the Past project, volunteering on our event days and chatting to our visitors. We appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication of our young people, a massive thank you to you all.

If you would like to get involved, then please get in touch, or visit our website for more information 👉 www.gainsboroughheritage.co.uk.
