THERE are presently several volunteering opportunities on offer in Tavistock and the surrounding villages.

For someone interested in the written word, the town's steam vehicle charity The Robey Trust is looking for a ghost writer.

Tavistock Library is seeking people to join their friendly team and the Oxfam charity is looking for volunteers to help out at its Market Street shop.

For more details on these opportunities and many others, you can drop into Tavistock Library on Thursdays between 9am-1pm and on Fridays between 1pm-4pm. Alternatively you can call West Devon Volunteer Centre on freephone 0330 660 0357 or email [email protected]">[email protected]
