The Red Rattler is community-owned and runs on a not-for-profit basis. It exists due to the hard work and commitment of volunteers who give them time on its board, during events, and for other projects including maintenance of the space.
We’re always looking for volunteers, so get in touch by filling in the form below and we’ll be in touch with more information about how you can apply and develop your skills to help keep this multi-faceted community organisation alive and flourishing.
