Volunteer

“At age 12 I ad-libbed in a school operetta and got a laugh. As a trumpeter I have always loved the stage but never minded not earning much. I cut my teeth as a stage manager at Glastonbury. It’s not about the money, it’s the smell of the grease paint and the roar of the crowd. All aspects of running a show are rewarding, be it cloakroom, box office steward and all the other cogs that turn to put on a show. lt’s grrrreat!”

“I volunteer because I believe strongly in the positive effects arts activities have in the community. They bring people together, improve health and well-being, and help to combat isolation and loneliness. With Span, I feel appreciated, part of a team, and confident in the work Span is doing. Onwards!”
