Give your time

Join our Volunteer Community

Yardley Arts is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) run by a small team of volunteers with a passion for creativity and a shared commitment to making art opportunities accessible to all.

We rely on volunteers to help with every aspect of running our community arts centre – from administration, book-keeping, marketing and building maintenance, through to workshop setting-up, exhibition stewarding distributing posters across Northamptonshire and surrounding counties – Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Rutland. Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.

If you can spare some time, would like to be part of a friendly team and make a difference in your local community, we would love to hear from you – contact us.

What we’re looking for right now

We are currently seeking a Volunteer Fundraising & Sponsorships Manager. If you:

  • have experience in fundraising and securing sponsorships for not-for-profit organisations

  • have a good knowledge of potential funders and sponsors – or the ability to research them

  • are self-motivated, but enjoy being part of a supportive team

…then please contact us for a chat.

Together let’s make Yardley Arts a community arts centre to be proud of for generations to come.

Helping others has a stronger effect than exercising four times a week!

People aged 55 and older who volunteer for two or more organisations have a 44 per cent lower likelihood of dying early, and that’s despite other contributing factors, including physical health, exercise, gender, marital status and habits such as smoking.
