Learning from previous Spirit 2012 funded projects has been utilised to develop an inclusive project, which will engage and empower residents to play an active role within their community.


The project is working in conjunction with incredible cultural and heritage partner organisations which will be able to provide a variety of volunteering opportunities for those engaged with the project and the project can support this with funding to overcome barriers such as travel, and offer exciting incentives based on their level of engagement.


The Volunteer Project Officer will be the main point of contact for a range of cultural and heritage voluntary sector partners, ensuring a pipeline of exciting volunteering opportunities are available to residents involved.

You will work closely with the Volunteer Coordinators, ensuring a small grants pot is promoted for groups to run their own inclusive volunteer engagement activities.
