A series of volunteer open days encouraging people to get involved in their community are to be held at an E17 art gallery.

People are invited to find out more about the benefits of volunteering and meet staff at the William Morris Gallery in Forest Road, Walthamstow on Friday and Saturday (October 8 and 9).

The drop in sessions will inform attendees about the skills they will develop and how to apply for positions at the gallery and Vestry House Museum in Vestry Road.

The free sessions begin at 10am and finish at 5pm.
