Volunteers’ Week: Join us for a Long Table Lunch!

As part of Volunteers’ Week, you’re warmly invited to a special long table lunch at Truro Cathedral.

This relaxed and friendly gathering brings together team members, volunteers, visitors, and the wider congregation to share food, conversation, and community. The cathedral will provide the tables for a communal picnic-style lunch — all you need to do is bring your own food and pull up a chair.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces. Whether you’re a regular volunteer, part of the congregation, or simply passing through, everyone is invited. Come along, take a seat at the table, and be part of something special.

Behind every smile, every service, and every moment in our cathedral are volunteers working behind the scenes. 💛

Their time, care, and dedication keep everything running and make it all possible.

This week, for Volunteers' Week we are shining a spotlight on their stories and experiences.

Hayley, Bell Ringing Master (pictured centre) describes volunteering at the cathedral: " I’d say it’s a hugely welcoming place and to be able to ring the bells within it is an absolute privilege. To volunteer in such an outstanding building that is in many ways a flagship, week in, week out, makes one feel a part of it. We’re not afraid to set our expectations high and challenge ourselves to become better."

This week, for Volunteers' Week we are shining a spotlight on their stories and experiences.

Charles, Volunteer Chaplain says volunteering at the cathedral is "One of the most fulfilling things I've ever done! It's about people. It's a privilege when people choose to share their concerns and personal issues with you and consent to you praying with them.

Sometimes, as the conversation progresses, I realise I'm the one being ministered to, rather than doing the ministering. And on the days when you've listened to somebody telling you something particularly difficult - how they've messed up their whole lives - struggling with their mental health - addiction - and you can see it by their appearance and demeanour - then it seems so worthwhile that you were there and that hopefully, in some small way, your listening made a difference for them"
