The proper functioning of the Abbey, our worship, our welcome to pilgrims and tourists, and
the management of events are completely dependent on an army of volunteers. As the Abbey
becomes better known and more used, we need more volunteers than ever to give time towards
a wide range of interesting and worthwhile activities:
Sidesmen who assist the smooth running of services
Stewards to welcome visitors
Tour guides for groups of all ages
People to lead or help with school groups
Bell-ringers
People to help in the Tea Room (as cake-makers, tea-pourers, etc)
Cleaners and dusters
Flower arrangers
Helpers to run the museum and shop
Stewards for concerts and other events
Webmaster and website editor
And more
And then there are the real behind-the-scenes volunteers:
The churchwardens who are responsible for the church building and all that goes on in it
Members of the Parochial Church Council, some with specific responsibility for worship,
finance, maintenance and refurbishment of the buildings, and marketing and promotions
As a member of the Abbey community, whether as committed Christian or interested bystander,
in whatever capacity, you would find fellowship and great satisfaction in keeping up the
tradition of worship and welcome provided in this great building for nearly 1400 years.
