We meet once a month to discuss new opportunities and management issues, to find new ways of how-to bring people of all ages of the community into the centre.

A volunteer should be passionate, enthusiastic and have a keen interest in community matters.

A secretary / administrator volunteer requires specific skills such office procedure, basic accounting and IT skills (excel, word) but enthusiasm and interest in the community are equally important.

This is an amazing opportunity to discover your “hidden talents” !!!

You need to attend our monthly Board meetings for taking notes, minutes and prepare all the documentation and email the Board members. HALLA has a computer in the centre.
