The group is a mixture of returned volunteers (RVs), people who have volunteered in the past, either with VSO or with other organisations, and those who are interested in learning about other cultures.
When and where we meet
We meet on the third Monday of every month at 7:30pm in Headingley Community Centre. The community centre is on North Lane, about five minutes' walk from the high street and opposite The Lounge cinema (now closed). The meeting room is on the 1st floor.
