Volunteer

Our campaign is entirely run by unpaid volunteers and you can help by volunteering your skills, experience and time. We have teams focussing on various areas of the campaign outlined below, who collaborate within teams and across teams as necessary. Each team has a lead, and can draw on support from our wide range of supporters, our steering group and trustees.

Volunteering is covered by our volunteer charter. We can’t afford to pay you, but there’s real job satisfaction in working with a great team of friendly people towards a well deserving cause that will benefit the community!

If you can help, just get in contact or come to one of our events. Thank you!

You can be part of our existing teams covering:

  • Communications and publicity team – spreading the word through the website, social media, email, the press etc. about the theatre, the campaign, our patrons and supporters, and so on. For example, one or more of these activities:
    • spending a bit of time each day monitoring a social media channel and sharing/posting messages.
    • compiling and sending out our email newsletter.
    • maintaining and updating our blog.
    • creating information and promotion material, working with the Creative team.
    • helping with press releases about significant news.
  • Fund-raising team – raising the funds needed to campaign. For example:
    • identifying potential funding bodies and helping prepare funding bids.
    • identifying and approaching potential donors or sponsors.
    • identifying and approaching potential investors and partners.
