BROADWAY AREA GROUP – VOLUNTEERING AT BROADWAY STATION SITE
The Broadway Area Group of Volunteers (BAG) has been set up specifically to assist in the rebuilding of Broadway Station and its related services. As such potential volunteers are expected to participate in a variety of renovation and refurbishment tasks, ranging from construction, electrical and mechanical engineering, landscaping and general labouring. Regular working days are Wednesdays and Saturdays, and occasionally work is carried out on other days as required.
To complement the above some project management skills are desirable to assist the members of the BAG Committee in keeping the overall Project on course.
In areas of the station where building work is still being undertaken, BAG policy is that working volunteers are required to wear a hard hat, hi-vis jacket and safety boots when working on the site.
On completion of the project, individuals may drop back into a maintenance and support role at Broadway, or move into a particular GWSR Department, or move on to another major project.
