Volunteer with us

We are a small team and couldn’t do what we do without the help of our wonderful volunteers.

Whether it is assisting with creative workshops in the community or with helping us behind the scenes archiving The Collection, there’s a role for you.

Is volunteering for me?

Our volunteers form a cross section of the community and volunteering with is a great opportunity to meet likeminded people, maybe you…

• Are retired and are looking for a new challenge

• Have mild learning disabilities, and are looking for a supportive environment to excel
• Are looking for a bridge back into work or for a change of career path
• Wish to make friends and gain in confidence
• And that is just the beginning…
