What inspired you to sign up to be volunteer?

I love art, especially immersive installations, and having seen the pandemic cause people so much stress I wanted to be part of something getting people back out in the world again, being inspired and finding joy.

What have you gained from your experience volunteering so far?

I have met some incredible people, seen amazing performances and some wonderful awe inspiring art. It’s spurred me on to realise that it was time to improve my career and I will be starting a new role in the summer.

What would you say to anyone thinking about becoming a volunteer?

Go for it. It’s so flexible and enjoyable- you can dip in and out depending on how busy the rest of your life is and you will always be welcomed. And it’s so rewarding seeing people having a good time.

What has been your most memorable or favourite moment of volunteering so far?

I treasure all the memories. I’ve been lucky to do some incredible shifts with the funnest and kindest of people so it’s hard to choose just one – the stand-out experiences definitely revolve around light, music and dancing!
