Join the Empire's Community Access Network (C.A.N) - London
This is a voluntary position
Are you a Community Connector?
Do you never stop chatting about what you did at the weekend?
Do you want to be part of the team at the Hackney Empire?
C.A.N. is Hackney Empire's new scheme that is aimed at supporting local organisations and the community through association and partnership with the Hackney Empire.
We are looking for local Community Connectors to help the Hackney Empire promote our performances throughout the year on selected shows and at the same time earn some of the ticket income that the tickets generate - which you can keep or put towards a charity or organisation of your choice.
Your contacts will receive a £2.50 savings off the price of the ticket, and you will get 50p back for every one of your vouchers that is collected at the box office and redeemed for a ticket. (You will be issued with a book of vouchers enabling you to pass on individual coupons to anyone you think appropriate. When the holder of the voucher exchanges it for a discounted ticket at the box office it will be noted and you will be eligible to obtain money for that purchase.)
In addition you will receive complimentary tickets to the first night of selected shows, and access to talks and events which are happening here.
Each season (there are three at the theatre - autumn/ winter, spring, and summer) we will arrange an event where you can meet some of the team here and find out more about what the season has to offer to the people who you believe would benefit from the project.
If you would like to know more about this opportunity then please contact Tony Goodrick (020 8510 4521) or email info@hackneyempire.co.uk with C.A.N in the subject line.
