Volunteering

Details of current volunteering roles can be found here

For artists completing our programme, our Artist Volunteer Programme offers a progression pathway to developing vocational skills and work experience.

The programme aims to improve wellbeing and promote social inclusion whilst developing confidence and agency to move on to education, training or employment.

Artist Volunteers choose from a range of volunteering opportunities taking place each week online and in-person in Manchester, Birmingham, London, Brighton. Roles can include supporting and encouraging service user engagement, attending concerts and open mic sessions, representing the charity at community, cultural, health and wellbeing events.

Visiting experts and creatives provide skills building sessions for artist development and social media. Peer support is facilitated at our online Musicians Wellbeing Network sessions. Volunteers earn credit from completing each volunteering opportunity towards studio time. Through supporting the charity and its service users, volunteers become part of our community whilst continuing their mental health recovery.
