Volunteer Jobs in Cornwall
Can you become a volunteer? Calstock Arts is a volunteer organisation and its success depends largely on the time, skills and energy of its team of amazing volunteers.
Calstock Arts puts on over 60 events each year. It also has a busy schedule of hiring out the building for meetings, weddings and classes. On top of that, this large listed building requires a great deal of care and maintenance.
Volunteering gives so much back to anyone who can give their time. As well as contributing to the community, you’ll be able to go to gigs for free, gain valuable work experience in the music industry, make new friends and be part of something really special.
Even if you can spare only an hour a week or can help on an ad hoc basis, please do come and talk to us. We have a large range of tasks that need to be undertaken, including customer-facing at the Box Office or bar, sound engineering (see more below), back office admin, publicity and maintenance, as well as many more. If you would like to learn more about being a volunteer, please get in touch.

Fundraising
One of the most important volunteer jobs to help keep us running is fundriaswers. We are always fundraising to ensure the assets that support Calstock Arts (projectors, sound equipment, etc) are of good quality and maintain our reputation for great events.
We are in the process of setting up a crowdfunding page, but in the meantime, all donations, of whatever size, are still welcome, and please look out for events that are giving their proceeds to the fund. For details on how to donate please click here.
Calstock Arts have registered with Movement for Good, an annual programme of giving by the Benefact Group (part of Ecclesiastical Insurance). Our supporters can vote for us to receive a quarterly prize of £1000 or one off prizes of £5000, so please vote for us as the more votes we have the better chance we have of winning. There are a number of draws per year.
Please use the link here to vote for us. Our charity number is 1162250.
