Coffee Morning and Welcome Hosts

Welcome Hosts are key to the success in supporting regular activity groups and events at Millbrooke House, and potentially at other venues across the Island as our services and activities develop.

As the name suggests, the primary role of Welcome Hosts is to provide a warm welcome to sight impaired Members, assist with sighted guiding to these Members on arrival at the premises and throughout the event, provide companionship throughout the event and helping with the service of any refreshments provided.
