Art & Craft
We’re looking for volunteers who enjoy arts and crafts, are friendly and approachable, and can support participants in a relaxed group setting. No professional skills are required—just creativity, patience, and a willingness to encourage others to get involved. On occasion you will be handling information of a personal nature and therefore awareness and understanding of the importance of confidentiality is vital.
What we can offer: You will have a full induction followed by ongoing support. You will have a named contact and opportunities for regular support sessions. You will be prioritised for any relevant training we have on offer. Volunteers who are unemployed will also be able to access support and training from our Employment and Training team. You will receive agreed travel expenses and can claim lunch expenses if you volunteer for more than five hours a day. Volunteer socials and trips. We will provide you with an honest reference regardless of how long you are with us.
We would like you to commit to this for at least 3 months, if you are able to volunteer for longer we believe you will have a much richer volunteering experience. Ideally the sessions will be on a weekday, the time and date can be agreed with the Centre Lead.
