The Arts Society Volunteering Programme

I worked with Rocking Horse Pictures and The Arts Society on this animated film to promote their volunteering programmes. These were broken into three areas: Arts Volunteering, Heritage Volunteering and Trails of Discovery.

ARTS VOLUNTEERING

Arts projects benefit everyone and we encourage and support Societies to offer engaging projects in a wide range of arts to groups of all ages in their local communities.

HERITAGE VOLUNTEERING

If heritage is your passion and you want to make a difference, this might be the role for you. Working closely with the curators and volunteering managers of museums, archives, gardens and historic houses, you will get to spend time behind the scenes in these wonderful places as part of the team.

From the conservation of books to research projects in historic parks and gardens, our volunteers are busy all over the UK helping to conserve and protect the nation’s heritage for future generations. They are trained by experts and work in many different roles including book conservators, stewards and archivists in heritage sites.

TRAILS OF DISCOVERY

Discovering a place of worship, an historic building or town through art, artefacts and social history can be inspiring. Trails are for everyone and draw attention to the art, architecture, local history and culture within a historic site, a place of worship or an area.

Trails in churches have been designed for people living with dementia to evoke memories and prompt conversation with family or carers.
