🌟Volunteer Spotlight

As part of National Volunteers’ Week, we’re celebrating the wonderful people who give their time to support the Cathedral by sharing some of their favourite memories and experiences.

Today, we’re featuring Julieanne, who shared this story from her time volunteering at the Cathedral:

Julieanne recalls…

“I always loved teaching so when I saw an advertisement about eleven or twelve years ago for retired teachers to volunteer for what was then an Education Guide I applied.

I enjoy the variety of the workshops we do with the students and seeing their keen responses. I love seeing the look of awe on young children’s faces when they first come into the Cathedral and look at the magnificence of the building.

Some of their comments are quite entertaining. One Year 1 child a few years ago pointed at the Adam and Eve painting on the nave ceiling and said, “Ah, that’s the story where the people ate an apple and all their clothes fell off.”

I have met lots of lovely people too, other volunteers and the members of staff organising the work. I am so glad I volunteered.”

Thank you to Julieanne for sharing her story and for all of the work you do!💙

💙Happy National Volunteers’ Week!

From today until Sunday 7 June, we’ll be celebrating the incredible volunteers who make so much of Cathedral life possible. Whether they are welcoming visitors, guiding tours, arranging flowers, live-streaming services, or supporting us in countless other ways, their dedication helps everything run smoothly, and we are enormously grateful for all they do.

👉 Join us in celebrating our wonderful volunteers and help us show our appreciation by sharing some love on our social media channels throughout the week!
