Would you like to volunteer with us?

The Hypatia Trust is run by an exceptionally small team and we rely on our wonderful volunteers to keep our events and the bookshop running.

If you’re based in Penzance/surrounding areas and like the idea of being involved with our activities, pop by for a chat. Being a collaborative hub of people and projects we’re looking for support from folk who are time flexible and like to connect in community.

We’re always being told what a wonderful ambience Hypatia has, and that is down to our people and the welcome.

Perhaps you’d like to help out at our evening events, or welcome daytime visitors to our shop - or both. Support as much as you like. You won’t need to commit to a regular day, and you can make some wonderful connections. 💫

Hypatia Events; weekday evening availability (usually between 6pm-8.30pm), to meet & greet at the door, help running refreshments bar/manage till, maybe capturing a few photos. 

Women In Word Bookshop; weekday availability (between 11-3pm), and the occasional Saturday, to greet visitors, tidy shelves
