Volunteer enablers (residential opportunity)
This is a voluntary position
Orpheus is a performing arts centre in Godstone, Surrey, for physically disabled young adults.
We are looking for volunteer enablers to work on residential week long placements throughout 2010.
The enablers come and live at the centre for the whole week and join in with songwriting, drama planning and support the physically disabled young people.
They then also take part in the final live performance at the end of the week.
They work with professional musicians/ drama tutors for the whole time they are here and gain huge experience and always say it has been a life changing experience.
