Three years on Iona

Our staffing crisis has been abated slightly, but it looks like it might be tough for the rest of the year. Part of the problem has been overseas folk getting visas (new tighter rules), but we’ve also had some bad luck with illnesses and bereavements.

Our volunteers are a really mixed bunch, ranging from 18 to too-old-to-ask-politely. They work extremely hard, sometimes physically, but always seem to do it with good humour. The minimum period for a first stay is six weeks normally.
