VOLUNTEERS in York were invited to a British-themed tea party designed to showcase the opportunities available in the area.

We Are Your Emporium, a new pop-up shop, held the event in Micklegate when information was available for around 25 organisations, covering a range of volunteering opportunities. The event was attended by people already offering their time for free, and those looking to volunteer for the first time. The event was organised by York CVS, who promote voluntary action.
