Our community benefits greatly from the help and support of its volunteers across a whole range of activities and if you are interested in volunteering some of your time, we would love to here from you. Below is the current list of volunteering opportunities, it would be great to hear from you if you are interested – there is no minimum commitment, just a willingness to get involved. Contact any member of the HCG committee to find out more about how you can get involved in volunteering.

Vice Chair Hartington Community Group – the community group is seeking a vice chair to help with the running of the group, working closely with the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, it is a role that provides a great opportunity to help support the wide range of groups and activities that run across the village.
2. Leaden Boot – Hartington Lead Marshall and Marshals.
