Young Arts Volunteers

If you enjoy working with young children on creative craft activities then we would love to hear from you. We are a small team of enthusiasts. Some of us have previous experience of teaching but it’s your enthusiasm and commitment to helping young people develop which matters most to us.

As, one of our volunteers, Rosie Berry, stressed “ Young Arts is an essential part of The Arts Society and plays an important role in helping local schools whose budgets are severely cut back these days. It is a joy to work with the pupils and see the pleasure they are getting from the projects we organise. Do come and join us”.

Karen Hellewell organises the volunteers and understands the importance of their work in local schools “In a busy classroom there is limited space for artistic experiences, in terms of time, resources and extra helpers. I have seen many children confide their hopes and fears in a one- to-one setting while focusing on mosaics. There is great satisfaction in helping a child to achieve their potential in a new activity.”

If you would like to join the team of volunteers then Karen would love to hear from you. You can contact her by email at:
