Curiosity Productions

We're looking for volunteers to help at Curiosity Club and Messy Makers Stay & Play throughout 2025.

Are you looking for experience in child care or community arts? Would you like to help give children more opportunities to be creative?

Could you:

Assist in running activity days for children

 Assist in delivering inclusive activities and games

Encourage creativity and imaginative play

 Support children with additional needs

Help with preparing and serving food

Volunteers must be DBS checked, we can arrange this for you.

Training provided.

Travel expenses covered.

You will be part of a team with experienced facilitators.

If you have children aged 5-13, they can attend Curiosity Club with you when you are volunteering.

If you have children aged under 5 they can attend Messy Makers with you when you are volunteering. It may be trickier for them to attend Curiosity Club but we'd be happy to discuss that with you, as it depends on the age and needs of your children.

If you have any questions or need this information in a different format please contact hello@curiosityproductions.co.uk or you can call, text or WhatsApp Jenny on 07967 187822. You can also book a chat in with Jenny using her Calendly link:  https://calendly.com/jenny-curiosity/15min
