Are you creative? Would you like to play a part in supporting children in expressing themselves through art? Art plays a valuable role in mental wellbeing with research showing that crafting, regardless of the medium you use can boost your mood, self-confidence and reduce stress overall. Taking part in art-based activities increases our resilience and engages us in the here and now. You will be supporting children to express their emotions, provide a time for them to relax and feel proud of their final art products!
We are recruiting for a volunteer to support and facilitate an art and craft group for children.
What you will be doing
- To prepare arts and craft sessions, involving the children and their ideas where possible
- Inspire and motivate children to develop their arts and craft skills, assisting them in the creation of their projects and supporting them to brainstorm and use their own initiative.
- Encourage individuals to continue independent activities.
We make a difference every day, helping people to live a life beyond crisis. The time you give as a volunteer will support more than 18,500 adults and children across London and the southeast. We couldn’t do it without our volunteers.
Volunteering at Hestia is a vital part of our organisation with individuals from all walks of life sharing their experience, expertise, and knowledge. Get involved today with opportunities to learn, develop, and make a difference!
