We are so looking forward to having you on team and want to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible.
Accommodation
In order to house all team (around 250+ per week) we use various locations around Keswick. These include:
- Keswick Convention Centre at Skiddaw Street
- Keswick Youth Hostel
- Castlerigg Manor
- Keswick School
- Plus some private properties.
Each volunteer will share a room with one or two other people of the same gender. (We do endeavour to place married couples together but can’t promise this.)
You will receive your allocated room information within your “Final information” email towards the end of June.
Meals
- Full time volunteers are provided with 3 meals a day*
- Meals are served in either the Rawnsley Hall, the Keswick Youth Hostel or Castlerigg Manor.
- You will be allocated a dining venue and a wristband for the specific venue. It is vital that you take your meals at your allocation location, you cannot swap as each venue will cater for specific numbers and dietary requirements.
- For those eating at the Youth Hostel, you will be sent a menu in June to be completed and sent back within a week.
- Part-time volunteers and those claiming accommodation allowance do not have meals provided. There are other circumstances when we don’t provide volunteers with meals – you will have been told if this is the case for you.
