Regular Help

Join us for the second set of toddler sessions! The activities were so popular during Spring and Summer, we're repeating them this Autumn.

This is a project in collaboration with UCLan's Public Engagement team so you'll be joining a small team of Harris volunteers and UCLan student ambassadors to help deliver family-focused activity sessions with toddlers aged 0-5.

UCLan staff have created the activity themes using inspiration from the Harris' collections and building. Activities based on the subjects art, poetry, maths, history and archaeology will be running on a 5 week rota at 4 different venues

• Ribbleton Library (Oct-Nov)

• Ingol Library (Feb-Mar)

• St Matthews Mission (Apr-May)

• Community Gateway (location TBC) (May-June)

 The first set of sessions will be starting at Ribbleton Library:

Don't worry - you don't have to commit to every single session! We will create a volunteering timetable based on what dates work best for different members of the volunteering team! :)

• Working as a team with UCLan student ambassadors and community partners.

• You'll receive training from UCLan academics on how to facilitate each activity.
