We are recruiting volunteers to get hands-on with our LeadOn Volunteer Leaders at a number of expressive art workshops for the children with hearing impairments/elderly served by our charity partners. These workshops use simple art-making activities to create a safe, welcoming space that enhances mood, confidence, and self-expression for participants.​ They help to improve well-being, reduce stress, and foster social connection for everyone involved.
Volunteer Roles:
Set up and pack away art materials and any other preparation as needed. Support the Volunteer Leader and art therapist and/or facilitator by preparing simple art tools, distributing materials, and keeping the space tidy and safe.​
Encourage and accompany children with hearing impairments/elderly participants during activities, offering gentle guidance, conversation, and positive reinforcement.​
Assist with basic logistics such as registration, time-keeping, photos (where appropriate), and participant flow so the Volunteer Leader can focus on facilitation.​
Join a short briefing and debriefing led by the Volunteer Leader and/or HandsOn team to reflect on the impact of the session and share observations.​
Remarks:
This role does not involve designing or leading the workshop; you will be supporting trained Volunteer Leaders who hav
