The Community for Reconciliation

Barnes Close operates with two types of volunteers.

Firstly there are a number of people from local churches who assist as required in the kitchen, cleaning, bed making, ironing, serving meals, filing, office work, telephone answering, gardening and in a host of other ways.

If you can offer time to help in the garden pleasse contact Ian

Secondly young people (normally aged 18-25 years) come and join the residential team for between 2 and 12 months. They are involved in all aspects of running Barnes Close and in the leadership of CfR events. We have welcomed volunteers from Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kenya, Nigeria, Poland, Romania, Serbia Slovakia, South Korea and Sweden.
