Anyone with building experience or just a willing pair of hands would be greatly appreciated. l The National Trust have a full range of opportunities at Castle Drogo, including conservation volunteers, living history volunteers (this involves dressing up in historic costume), gardeners and a building project interpreter. l Exeter, East and Mid Devon PCT speech and language therapy service, in partnership with Connect, the communication disability network, are looking for volunteers to visit people with aphasia.
