The Evening
A Wrap to Remember
That's a wrap for the Montserrat Events 2025 season, finished in good company at our Smile Awards evening at Caffe Lee - Cafe/Bar. The evening gave everyone the chance for a proper catch-up on the year and introductions to new team members.
A big thank you to everyone who was able to join us to mark the end of the season; for those unable to make it, you were missed.
We now look ahead to the new 2026 season, which is going to be awesome.

Join Our Crew
Come and be part of our event crew. We have many local residents who are already helping with the events but there's always room for more to come and be part of the team.
Our Event Crew - known as 'makers/helpers/volunteers' - play a vital role in helping to create a successful day for everyone involved. Volunteering at an event is a fun and rewarding time out. It's a great way to meet other people and be part of a fantastic team.
In return, you will be part of a fantastic team who have fun and an enthusiastic sense of work ethic delivering the smile for the community.
We're Looking For Volunteers Who:
- Have lots of energy and enthusiasm.
- Have great communication and people skills.
- Can work well as part of a team and on their own.
- Are prepared to volunteer outside and be on their feet for long periods of time.
- Are flexible and willing to volunteer in different roles, as required.
- Are 18+ years old (or have parental/guardian consent).
In May 2024 we introduced our Volunteer Charter - a commitment to supporting every volunteer who joins our team.

- Ensure volunteering is carried out in conjunction with the provided volunteer handbook.
As a Volunteer, I Will:
