Axminster's Community Waffle House and other organisations are hosting a volunteer speed dating night.

The event is Monday, February 26th from 4pm to 6pm at The Community Waffle Hosue and the 'speed dating' element will take place between 4:30 and 5:30 pm so that there is plenty of time for chatting either side.

The concept is a quick-fire 'speed dating' style event, where people can go around talking to all the local organisations about volunteering.

Matt Smith, organiser said: "This event is for those that think that they might be interested in taking up local volunteering, perhaps as a New Year's resolution? 

"The need in Axminster is great and there are many organisations that could benefit from people of absolutely all ages who have some spare time that they might be able to offer. It might be driving people to hospital appointments, gardening, picking up prescriptions or it could be something more in the background like admin support or designing posters."
