Volunteering
Thornbury Community and Arts will take over the management with new enthusiasm. It will be a charity with professional guidance but with very few paid staff. The venue will be run for the community, but will also rely on community volunteers to help. The roles will be very varied, everything from administration jobs, ticket sales, housekeeping, to front of house. We know this can work as we have visited and studied other similar Theatres and Venues, a few of whom operate with only volunteers.
It is likely that you have the skills to help, possibly with training which will be provided. We will shortly send out a questionnaire aimed at anyone interested in helping. If you are interested in being involved with this incredible initiative, please fill out our volunteer form below.
Companies and groups may be able to help too.
We will need people to help before the opening and when the venue is operating.
Fundraising
Our main donor has got us off to a great start, enabling us to get the Cossham Hall and Foyer reopened. This gift has been enhanced by the funds previously raised by the public for venue improvements, along with a further significant private donation.
We are also using a professional fundraiser to help us reach trusts and other grant givers, and are on the search for corporate donors.
