The Big Help Out

The Medway Queen Preservation Society is taking part in this recently announced feature of King Charles’ Coronation in May. The scheme’s website is still evolving, but the thinking behind it is that The Big Help Out will give everyone an opportunity to join in as a volunteer.

The official introduction states:
"To mark His Majesty The King’s Coronation thousands of organisations across the country are getting together to give us all the chance to help out in our own local communities. Starting on Monday 8th May there will be opportunities for everyone to join in. No matter what you are good at, there’ll be something to suit helping hands of all shapes and sizes! From checking in on someone who’d like a bit of company or volunteering for a charity the more of us who join in, the bigger help we will be."

Medway Queen and the Medway Queen Visitor Centre will be open for visits and tours on Monday May 8th (usual opening times) with an additional emphasis on recruiting new volunteers to help with the project.  Come along and have a chat with existing team members. We'll do our best to find something that interests you and fits with your existing life schedule.
