Volunteering
Nottingham Hackspace only exists because of volunteers. Members (and sometimes non-members) put in a huge amount of time every month to ensure the smooth running the Hackspace.
If you want to donate some of your time to the Hackspace, but are not sure what you can do, simply pick something from the list on this page! Some of these jobs you can just do, some have timeframes and some will need a little bit a work before you can start. The Hackspace needs you and is grateful for any time you can give!
The jobs are arranged into four categories:
- All the time: These jobs always need doing, probably repeatedly
- Anytime: These jobs don't have a specific time
- One off: These jobs will happen once, probably at a specific time
- Repeating: These jobs will happen repeatedly
- Groups: Groups are responsible for certain areas of the hackspace and always need new members

One Off
Green Festival
We exhibited at the Green Festival last year and will be doing again this year. We need people to man the stall, talk about interesting things and generally help out. If you're interested post in this thread on the google group
Repeating
Open Night Tours
Every Wednesday is open night, and we get between 2 and 20 visitors every Wednesday. Anyone can do a member tour. Simply turn up on a Wednesday and talk to the people already doing tours - they can talk you through what to cover.
Groups
Consumables
The consumables groups look after all those things in the space that we need again and again - from toilet roll to stanley knife blades. If you are interested in helping out, shout up in this thread on the google group
Tools
The tools group is starting to look at all our tools to see what we need and what needs replacing. If you would like to help, contact User:Congojoe
