TRAINING is being offered for people who want to get involved as volunteers at Pershore's new Number 8 Community Arts Centre.

About 100 people have already offered to give their time to the theatre project.

But managing director Ray Steadman said many more would be needed when the centre opens later this year.

"Across the whole area of the caf, bar, box office, stewards and other roles, we need an awful lot of volunteers," he explained."

Anyone who wishes to get involved will be offered training opportunities next month.
