Our Volunteers

Time to spare? Spend it with your local community!

Our Volunteers

We have a core team of around 25 volunteers, whose support includes weekly volunteering in our regular creative sessions, weekend and holiday workshops or being an essential part of the team at events.

Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, meet new people, further a career and give something back to the community. We are committed to providing opportunities for people to develop their skills and provide a range of training and social events to ensure that our team is always learning and growing.

We also support participants to become Peer Volunteers. This means that when people feel confident enough, they can take on more responsibility in a group setting. They may support artists to set up and take registers or support other participants who are feeling particularly anxious or vulnerable.

Being given trust and the responsibility of a group gave me a role to fill, something to grow into, and a much bigger sense of achievement I never really had before. – darts volunteer
