VOLUNTEERS for community projects are being recruited at a council office.

Richmondshire Volunteer Centre is working from the district council's community office in Dundas Street, Richmond.

Volunteer centre officer Alison Metcalfe said it will help raise the service's profile.

She said: "It means we can display leaflets, posters, vacancy notices for volunteering and encourage access to on-line opportunities such as the national database, www. do-it.org and www.communi gate.co.uk/ne/richmond shirecvs - our new website."
