Open Door is run almost entirely by volunteers, and we're always looking for enthusiastic people to join our team. Here are some of the ways you can get involved:

• Working in our community café - welcoming visitors, serving refreshments and helping in the kitchen
• Baking delicious (nut-free) cakes, tray bakes, scones and biscuits (including gluten- and dairy-free options)
• Gardening
• Setting up exhibitions or activities
• IT and admin support
• Help with fundraising

We value volunteers from all backgrounds and ages to help with regular shifts or occasional activities. We also welcome support in the form of donations, grants, goods and services. 
  
If you'd like to get involved, please pop in for a chat or Contact us, telling us a little about yourself.

Community textiles project

Led by our amazing volunteer Teri, we're creating a textiles banner - depicting much-loved places in Berkhamsted. 

Lots of you have contributed by sewing beautiful panels. Thank you so much! If your piece is still in progress, we'd be very grateful of you could let us know we should expect it by emailing comms@opendoorberkhamsted.co.uk.

There'll be news about how it will be displayed, in all its glory, when the plans are confirmed!
