Can you support Mustard Tree’s Art Session, helping people discover new talents, achieve creative goals, and reach their artistic potential within a supportive community?
The purpose of class is to help clients overcome social isolation, meet new friends, find community, whilst exploring different forms of artistic expression. If you’re passionate about art, would like to make a big difference and be part of a unique community, we’d love to hear from you! You will be volunteering as part of a team, with the support of Mustard Tree staff.

- Interact with learners in a dignified, empathetic manner whilst encouraging them to feel part of the community.
- Supporting the setting up of the session.
- Help maintain the cleanliness of the art suite, working within the Mustard Tree health and safety procedures.
- Supporting the running of the creative showcases that run throughout the year to exhibit client work.
