A big shoutout to everyone who comes along and volunteers their time at our wonderful wellbeing cafe at Barnstaple Library. 💫

We are so lucky to have the best community of volunteers who give up their time to help run our wellbeing Wednesday. ☕️

Thank you to everyone who has popped along to connect, make a cuppa for our visitors and offered our biscuits. ⭐️

It's Volunteers Week! ✨️

This week we're celebrating our wonderful volunteers 🥰

A big thank you goes out to our Heritage Volunteers! The group meet weekly to undertake research and heritage tasks alongside our Heritage team.

Their research and important work help towards our understanding of Barnstaple's history as well as contributing to our public exhibitions. 📚️

Thank you, for all that you do! 💫

A few weeks ago we were absolutely delighted to take some of our Barnstaple Town Councillor's, Katie and Mark from Barnstaple Allotment Association and a few members of staff on a tour of our allotment sites 🌱

It was lovely to see so many residents hard at work and to see how some of the plots have transformed. 🌿🌷

A particular highlight was visiting The Freedom Centre's plot! The team and volunteers have completely transformed an old overgrown plot and created something magical ✨️

A fantastic collaborative venture that not only helps our allotments look beautiful but also helps members of the community to get growing and create something to be proud of! 🌻 Well done Freedom Centre!
