Arts, Crafts, Radio, Film and Other Activities Volunteers at Spiral Sussex Limited

Based in Brighton, Spiral Sussex exists to support adults with learning difficulties, working to improve their quality of life through activities, skill development and inclusion. We provide holidays, out of hours clubs (sports, dance, etc.), social events, day trips, and a space for creative expression at our media centre. People of all adult ages attend our sessions and we assist them to create radio shows, music, short films, art, podcasts and more.

We are looking for volunteers to help with activities for adults with learning difficulties at our day centre in Bevendean.

These activities include arts and crafts, radio shows, music sessions, filming, photography, day trips and more! Experience in care and support work is preferable.

We will aim to provide transport, as and where possible, as well as expenses.
