Join us as a Volunteer

Volunteers play a big part in our Community Arts Centre - whether helping out in the galleries, at the Good Mood Cafe, fundraising, events, cinema screenings or helping us maintain our gardens and studios.

If you are able to spare just a few hours a week or come along to one of our workdays we would value your help and support. We always have a range of jobs, indoors and outdoors, for all ages, skills and abilities.

We are currently recruiting new Constitutional Members - contact us to find out more. If you are over 15+ we have very limited opportunities for work experience or volunteering for your Duke of Edinburgh Award.
