Applications now closed for volunteer help with Open Space 70 in 2023
Volunteers are invaluable to Hebden Bridge Arts as they enable us to do work that would not otherwise be possible, and often contribute specialist skills and knowledge.
Volunteering has a positive effect on you! It makes you feel good. By giving your time, and doing something that's of benefit to others, you can build your confidence, learn new skills and make the most of the skills you already have. It's also great for adding to your CV to help you further you’re learning or get a job.
