Live Music Now Scotland Volunteer

  • VO100308


Description

Live Music Now Scotland has a Scotland-wide Volunteer Network. Our volunteers give practical support in concerts to free the musicians to do their job of entertaining and engaging their audience. Concerts take place in care homes, dementia centres and other community settings. The tasks for volunteers are very varied with everything from finding the off switch on the communal TV to encouraging audience engagement and helping venue staff complete evaluation forms on the impact of our work. Perhaps you have specific skills and experience we could use. No musical ability is needed, just a degree of common sense and an eye to notice what needs to be done.
We are a flexible organisation and would aim to work around what you can offer. We offer travel expenses where necessary. If you are interested, please contact Rachel Spencer at rachel.spencer@livemusicnow.scot.
We’ll take it from there.

Organisation aims and objectives

Live Music Now Scotland's mission is to bring high-quality live music to people throughout Scotland, particularly those who would otherwise not have access to its transforming benefits and ability to effect societal change. Music is the heart and soul of Scotland – and makes us the people we are. Live Music Now Scotland believes that everyone should be able to enjoy the power of music – wherever you are.
