workshops. We believe creativity builds confidence, connection, and wellbeing, and our

volunteers play a vital role in ensuring our work is sustainable, inclusive, and means we can reach as may people as possible.

1. General Volunteer – Bring Your Creativity, Make a Difference!

Do you love the arts? Enjoy helping others shine? We’re looking for friendly, creative people

to join our volunteer team at Interakt – a vibrant arts charity supporting adults with

learning disabilities and additional needs. You don’t need to be a professional artist – just someone who’s kind, reliable, and ready to get stuck in.

You could be:

• Helping out in workshops and performances
• Assisting with crafts, sewing, or costume making
• Supporting music and dance sessions
• Serving refreshments and chatting with participants
• Helping capture creative moments through photography or video

If you’ve got a skill, we’ll find a way to make it shine!

2. Dance & Movement Volunteer – Join the Rhythm!

Love music and movement? Come support our inclusive dance sessions, where energy,

expression and laughter take centre stage!

We’re looking for volunteers to help participants enjoy dance workshops — assisting

facilitators, encouraging participation, and bringing good vibes (two left feet totally

welcome).

No formal dance training needed – just enthusiasm, empathy, and a smile. Weekly or

fortnightly sessions in Newbury.

3. Media & Videography Volunteer – Capture the Magic

Do you love filming, editing, or digital storytelling? We’re looking for a Media &

Videography Volunteer to help us record our creative projects — from drama rehearsals to

live shows!

You’ll help:

• Film workshops and performances
• Edit short highlight videos
• Support participants in learning basic media skills

Perfect for someone studying film, media, or digital content – or anyone who just loves

telling real, human stories.

4. Sewing & Creative Crafts Volunteer – Make It, Stitch It, Create It!

Our creative sessions often need props, costumes, and set pieces – and that’s where you

come in! If you can thread a needle, use a glue gun, or just love a good craft table, we’d love

your help.

You’ll help with:

• Sewing, painting, making props
• Supporting costume and set creation for shows
• Helping participants with craft activities

5. Refreshments & Support Volunteer – The Real Hero Behind the Scenes!

Every creative session needs someone who keeps the kettle boiling and the smiles flowing.

We’re looking for friendly volunteers to help with:

• Making refreshments
• Setting up and clearing spaces
• Chatting and welcoming participants
• Helping out during art or music sessions when needed

Perfect if you’re warm, organised, and love being part of a joyful, creative environment.

6. Music & Performance Volunteer – Make Some Noise!

Got a love for rhythm, song, or sound? Join Interakt’s music and performance sessions —

where everyone’s a star.

You’ll help:

• Play an instrument, sing, or help participants explore music
• Support rehearsals and performances
• Help record or mix simple audio pieces

You don’t need to be a pro – just ready to share your enthusiasm for music and community.

7. All-Round Creative Support – Multi-Skills Volunteer

If you love variety and want to dip your toe into everything, this one’s for you. One week

you might be filming a rehearsal, the next helping paint props, or supporting a dance class.

Every day is different — and every moment counts.

We’ll work around your interests, skills, and schedule. Come as you are — leave inspired.

ParalympicsGB’s vision is: Through Sport, inspire a better world for disabled people.

We pursue world-leading performance at the Paralympic Games and leverage that to drive social impact and inspire a better world for disabled people. Our Non-Executive Directors are committed to creating the best performance environment possible while also being committed to improving the lives of disabled people and promoting inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility for all.

We’re seeking a Non-Executive Director with the right experience to support us in our revenue generating activities through the LA 2028 Paralympic Games Cycle. Our chief source of revenue is sponsorship: commercial partnerships with well-known consumer-facing brands. This work involves delivering existing partnerships, renewing them where possible, and developing new partnerships.

We also have developing expertise in generating revenue through philanthropic giving and giving from trusts and foundations and want to grow this further for LA2028 and beyond.

This voluntary role would bring a leadership perspective to the work of the Board in these areas and provide guidance and support to the relevant teams at ParalympicsGB.

It would strongly suit someone with experience of being a senior commercial leader in marketing, sponsorship or advertising. Experience of philanthropic giving and trusts and foundations, meanwhile, is desirable but not essential.

If our vision excites you, if you have relevant experience and expertise, and if you can commit your time to providing guidance, support and constructive challenge, we’d welcome your application to the role.
