Last year in 2025 we had an amazing show of volunteers that assisted with everything from workshops, events, created content and snapped photos at our gigs, book readings and exhibition launches. They played a vital part in making 2025 a success and we hope that this will continue in to 2026.
Fancy becoming a volunteer? We would be happy to hear from you whether you have a few hours to spare each week or want to dive into hands-on roles, there’s a place for you here to get involved!
Through our volunteering opportunities and supported training opportunities delivered in partnership with Navigatr , you can contribute to our creative and community-focused activities. From planning and organising to gardening or supporting creative workshops and exhibition installation, your support will make a huge difference to our small organisation, and we hope to anyone wanting to share or develop their skills too.
