There are plenty of ways you can get involved in volunteering at The Orpheus Centre:                

Short Term Volunteering Opportunities - The Orpheus Centre offers a range of short term volunteering opportunities that match the Duke of Edinburgh Awards or for school work experience programmes.

Local Regular Volunteers - We also offer ongoing opportunities. Again, these opportunities are extremely flexible and you can become involved in any aspect of the Centre from driving, lunch time support, administration, gardening, DIY, reading, performing arts, leisure activies support and backstage/directing work.

Gap Year Students - The Orpheus Centre is offering young people the chance to come and live and work at the Centre for a year and get involved in all aspects of our work. All overseas students come to the Centre via I.C.Y.E.

Our Gap Year Students have proved invaluable to The Orpheus Centre.  Each year we look forward to welcoming another 4 young people, who will come and live with us and share in the lives of our physically disabled young adults. It is wonderful to learn about their country and culture and to try to speak their particular language! They also bring a huge variety of talent and skills i.e. music, singing, acting, IT etc to share with us at our performing arts centre. In return we hope we give them a unique experience in our performing arts centre and that they benefit from taking part in our live performances and shows, in our own Barn Theatre and external venues across the country.
