Volunteering

Giving our time and talents to support the community

As well as serving the College community, the Chapel welcomes tens of thousands of visitors and pilgrims each year. There are many ways to contribute to the life of our community and serve those who visit and worship here. Whether through reading at services, acting as servers, acolytes, or thurifers at the Eucharist, or by assisting in a ministry of welcome and hospitality, there are various opportunities to contribute to our life together.

We have connections to several charities in Cambridge and there are often opportunities to engage in the life of the wider community, some of which will form part of our Common Good programme.
