We are looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to support our creative wellbeing workshops across Portsmouth and Gosport.

Our sessions use Mindful Art and Black-Out Poetry to help people slow down, reflect, and connect in a calm, welcoming environment. You don’t need to be an artist or a facilitator — this role is about supporting people, not fixing them.

What you’ll be doing

• Helping set up and pack away sessions
  
• Welcoming participants and helping them feel at ease
  
• Offering gentle support with creative activities if needed
  
• Being a calm, non-judgemental presence
  
• Occasionally helping with refreshments

Where support is needed

• Weekly Mindful Art sessions (Portsmouth)
  
• Monthly Mindful Art groups (Gosport)
  
• One-off events and pop-up workshops
  
• Ad hoc sessions with partner organisations

You can volunteer weekly, monthly, or occasionally — we’ll work around your availability.

Who this role is for

This role suits people who:

• Care about community, creativity and wellbeing
  
• Are kind, patient and reliable
  
• Enjoy supporting others in a relaxed environment

This is a volunteer role with a Community Interest Company, helping us deliver free and low-cost creative sessions for the local community.

To get involved, please register your interest.
