Volunteering Opportunities
Weekly sessions
If you have enthusiasm for music, dance or drama and enjoy working with children and young people, you may like to join our Inclusive Theatre team that supports weekly sessions in the evenings. Most of our staff are volunteers who enjoy this weekly commitment, often as a welcome change from their regular work during the day. We run sessions on the following evenings:

One-off shows / projects
Our shows all involve large numbers of children and volunteers and are very exciting and inspiring events to be a part of. All of our regular volunteers will be needed to supervise the children and young people, as there are usually over a hundred (some of whom have disabilities such as Downs syndrome, autism or the need for a wheel chair.) If you would enjoy a day doing something completely different and being part of our event, we would really value your input to help us out Front of House.
There are many ways in which you can be part of the event:
- Sell our merchandise / raffle tickets / serve coffees and drinks
- Arrange displays and the reception area
- Usher our audience into their seats
- Support the technical staff setting up lighting rig, sound system, stage, set etc.
- Be a driver to collect items for the technical staff
- Video film the show and edit the video after the event
- Design the programme before the event
