We want to extend a MASSIVE thank you to our amazing team of volunteers who bring so much energy, skill, and joy to our work. It delights us to have members of our wider community spending their time with us doing something they love. Whether working with Global Grooves, Cabasa, The Vale*, or a mixture, we couldn’t do it without you. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come along and raise a glass with us whilst checking out some of the brilliant adventures that happen here at The Vale.
