We support groups of young people to create peer education projects (anything from murals to short films) on issues they identify as important. Range of flexible volunteering opportunities: group support, mentoring, training or office-based work.
We encourage adults with disabilities to get involved with in theatre productions. They are supported by able-bodied volunteers who work alongside them and also take part in the productions.
Want to combine your interest in drama and the theatre with a desire to volunteer? Then this is the job for you.
Voluntary positions greatly enhance your curriculum vitae for the future; as well as helping you to build on transferable skills for future employment and providing a valuable service to the local community. As if that wasn't enough it can be a great way to make friends, learn about yourself and have fun.
We are looking for volunteers to act as enablers at our inclusive theatre company working with adults with disabilities. Experience not necessary but enthusiasm and a positive attitude are a must.
