Over 100 volunteers, over 6,000 hours a year

Over 100 wonderful volunteers work over 6,000 hours a year to support the running of the Wiltshire Music Centre. With just 7 full-time and 3 part-time staff, we simply couldn't manage our busy programme without them.   We are truly grateful for all the help that they kindly give.

On concert nights, our volunteers:

• greet people at the door
• look after the artists backstage
• serve in the bar or sell programmes or ice cream
• help run the box office
• or one of many other important tasks!

Volunteers also help at conferences, stuffing envelopes and distributing flyers, and enjoy special social events during the year as a thank you for all invaluable help they give.

Join our team, and make new friends too - even small amounts of time make a real difference.  Find out more about how you could get involved - email Rebecca Perkins or call her on 01225 860110.

What our volunteers say….

'The Centre is a place to be proud of and there's always something different to do. Many people come to volunteer by themselves and there are a lot of ex-professional people which makes an interesting mix. The relationships between people are really good and it is great fun.'

'I believe in education and in what the Centre gives to our community. I thought it was important to support it because I'm local. I organise the stuffing of the brochure mailings. It's a big job but fun and it's good to see how much faster we can get each season.'

'I became a volunteer three years ago because I wanted to help at the Music Centre. It is such an incredible facility for the community. I also get to hear lots of concerts that I wouldn't necessarily buy tickets for, but then the fantastic music is a great surprise. I don't tend to go to concerts elsewhere - why would I now that we have the Centre?'

'A big concert with lots going on can be a real challenge but the other volunteers, and the staff, are a joy to work with. It is like a family and it is so nice to be part of.'
