| Description |
Volunteers are extremely important to the work at CAT and the achievements over the last 30 years simply wouldn't have happened without the hard work, inspiration and dedication of the initial idealists who founded the centre in 1975.
Long Term Volunteers (LTV’s) come every March and September to work full time for 6 months in various departments across CAT. Whilst gaining hands-on valuable work experience and learning more about sustainability during their unpaid placement, individuals make a valuable contribution to the work of CAT which is highly appreciated.
LTV’s find accommodation locally and need to be completely self funding. Anyone is welcome to apply but you must be over 18 years old. Benefits include: work experience and training, lunch, travel expenses (currently upto £16.50 a week), two free CAT courses (subject to availability), a year’s free subscription to CAT’s membership magazine, discount for CAT shops & restaurant. About the Information department
CAT’s free Information Service supports the centre’s mission to inspire, inform and enable by offering free and impartial advice on all aspects of sustainable living. The Information Service answers enquiries by phone, email and at the Visitor Centre Information Desk and produces and updates online information materials.
