Veronica Aldous shares the joys and benefits of having paid wardens in the Quaker Meeting house
As a warden, I would like to remind Friends that they do already have paid helpers (‘Do we need paid help?’ 5 September) in the form of some of their remaining wardens
We help keep ‘Meeting houses running’, liaising with committees both on a local and area level and with the community
I am a Friend of over twenty years’ experience and a great deal of commitment and so I can help out sometimes with voluntary roles on top of my paid work
I think it is helpful to have resident wardens We provide security in a time when buildings are vulnerable to vandalism, deal with enquiries and ensure a warm, welcoming and clean Meeting house Of course, the practical work supports the spiritual life of the community – any temple attendant would verify this!
