We're Looking for New Committee Members!

We have two committee vacancies we would like to fill, and we are also growing an informal 'friends of' group who can dip in and out depending on projects and availability. We would love to hear from you.

Our committee is made up of locals just like you and we all have jobs, family commitments, and other volunteer roles. We offer plenty of flexibility and a supportive team environment. We meet every two months (on the first Wednesday of the month) at the Oak Community Centre to plan events and projects.

Interested in nominating for a Committee position? Please email activatingbridgewater@gmail.com with your contact details and a short bio (3-5 sentences) introducing yourself, your skills, or interests, and why you'd like to join the committee. This bio will be shared at the AGM prior to elections.

Don't be shy, put your hand up!
