THE town centre’s new youth zone is looking for volunteers to support youngsters.

In preparation for its opening in January next year, Base71 will be Yorkshire’s first OnSide-run centre on Schwabisch Gmund Way.

It will provide a safe and welcoming space for youngsters to grow, make friendships and create brighter futures.

Volunteer recruitment will begin next month, with organisers urging people ‘who want to make a difference’ to apply.

Previous experience is not necessary with volunteers who have a special hobby or skill they would like to share especially encouraged to apply.

Volunteering is flexible, whether you can only give a few hours a week or support special events.

Applicants must be aged 18 and over.

Base71 are hosting a volunteer information event on November 27, from 4pm, where interested parties can ask questions and learn about the role.
