Volunteering

Our volunteer programme enables a small team of volunteers to work on a specific project. Our volunteers meet on Wednesday afternoons from 1-4pm (with a break for tea/coffee and biscuits part way through).

Each volunteer project will relate to a larger, specific Theatre Collection project and be managed by the relevant member of staff who will work alongside the volunteer group in our small reading room.

The volunteer projects run for a set period, after which we start a new project and advertise for a new team of volunteers. As we have a waiting list of interested people, and so that as many people as possible are able to have a volunteering experience with us, we will send a call for interest at the start of each new project. This allows people to get in touch if the particular project interests them and they feel that they have the right skills to participate. We will select a team of volunteers of a maximum of 5-6 people for each project in accordance with our Volunteer Policy 2024-2029 (PDF, 399kB).

If you would like to join our volunteer waiting list to hear about future projects, please send us an email at theatre-collection@bristol.ac.uk briefly explaining why you'd like to be involved.
