Art Party and Family Show Saturday Volunteer

Grand Junction at St Mary Magdalene’s is a venue for community, arts and culture based at St Mary Magdalene Church, run by Paddington Development Trust. Our mission is to present an eclectic, collaborative programme of music, arts and performance for young people, families, and adults in our amazing spaces.

Volunteers enable us to do so much more at Grand Junction. We’re looking for friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic volunteers to assist in delivering our monthly Art Party; a creative Saturday morning club with arts and craft activities, toys and a bubble disco for the whole family. Art Party volunteers will support the facilitator to deliver activities such as Lego building, mono printing and card making in a dynamic, engaging and safe learning environment.

We value the contribution that volunteers make to our work. Volunteers in this role will:

• Receive a detailed volunteer induction specific to the role
• Receive out-of-pocket travel expenses, up to £10 per shift in accordance with the PDT Volunteer Policy
• Receive ongoing support from the Young People’s & Schools Manager, and other Grand Junction staff
• Be supported to use their volunteering to access employment-focused opportunities, such as advice and signposting, where relevant
• Be invited to volunteer social gatherings, community events, and talks

What you’ll gain

This role is a great opportunity to:

• Contribute to the development and delivery of cultural activities for the local community 
• Gain experience of working with children and families in an arts and cultural community education setting
• Develop new skills and increase confidence
