VOLUNTEER WITH US
There are a variety of opportunities for you to join our team

LISA GRAHAM 
Introducing our Volunteer Coordinator  

 "Hello everyone. I’m Lisa, and my role at Hebden Bridge Arts is the Volunteer Coordinator.

I joined Hebden Bridge Arts as a volunteer in 2015 with the aim of meeting people when I moved to the area. During my time as a volunteer, I became passionate about getting more involved with this charity. I liked the team, and I enjoyed working in an arts organisation. And so, I have become a more permanent fixture doing a job I love.

The best thing about my job is getting people involved. Volunteers are vitally important to our work and projects.

If you like teamwork, have a passion for the arts, want to meet new people, build your confidence, learn new skills, and most importantly have fun – then volunteer".

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO VOLUNTEER? 
Nicky tells us what it's like to support Hebden Bridge Arts  

Have you ever wondered what it's like to volunteer?
Nicky tells us what she enjoys about volunteering, how she fits volunteering into her life, and gives some advice to anyone thinking about giving it a go:

"Once I put on the volunteer t-shirt, I am the ‘go to’ person, which I enjoy. It’s great being in and amongst the community and being able to help. It’s good fun”.

Choosing to volunteer could be one of the best decisions you make, for yourself and others. By giving your time, and doing something that's of benefit to others, you can build your confidence, learn new skills, and make the most of skills you already have, all whilst meeting new people and enjoying new experiences. 

We can't wait to hear from you. 

Bundle up and stay warm everyone.
 From Rebekah, Alison, Lisa and the trustee team
