VOLUNTEER Due to the success of our workshops at The Mount, we are now looking for volunteers to help us with these sessions. You may be a parent or grandparent who already brings their child/grandchild to our children’s workshops, someone who is interested in working with artists or someone who wants to give back to the community. If any of these sound like you and you are interested in getting more involved, we would love you to sign up to be one of our volunteers. No experience is necessary, the only thing that we ask is that you are over 18 years old.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering for LeftCoast at The Mount please contact Sophie Fuce at Sophie.fuce@leftcoast.org.uk

RESTORATION The Mount Pavilion and Gardens is currently undergoing a revival as Wyre Council restore the seaward side of the Grade II registered gardens to their original 19th century design. A bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund to transform the landward side including pavilion, rose garden and gate lodge is also being developed.
