Embrace your creative side and help our children to embrace theirs.

by Fantastic Journeys CIC

We are looking for a volunteer to support children with Additional Needs in music and dance activities. You will support the children by helping them to follow instructions, encouraging them to take part and praising them when they get involved. You will be expected to model appropriate behaviour, so will be required to take part in playing percussion instruments, singing and dancing. You don’t need any experience or skills in playing instruments, singing or dancing, just a willingness to take part. There will also be a few other tasks that we might need help with such as making drinks, taking the register and welcoming new participants. We will expect you to complete a safeguarding training course (about an hour long) if you haven’t done one recently. Our sessions are always fun and joyful and we are sure you will enjoy them.
