Unique Beats Performance Art Group

Do you love getting into character, being playful, and imaginative? Unique Beats is our performance art group where we dive into dramatics, play with characters, write scripts, create small films, and explore all kinds of expressive storytelling. We’re looking for someone who can bring a little fun and weird, and support members to join in at their pace, and help us keep the sessions fun, inclusive, and full of creativity.

We’re looking for someone who loves supporting people to try new things, socialise, and enjoy a calm space to unwind and be creative.

Volunteering Roles

KITCHEN & FOOD ACTIVITIES

Support our catering and food events by helping with food prep, service, and clean-up. A great way to gain skills! Ability to use a knife safely and stand for 2 hours required.

Groups and Workshops

Help facilitate our creative, active, or life-skill groups alongside our team. Support our members, come up with ideas and bring some fun energy.

Tasks include setting up creative groups, encouraging and helping members to create their visions, cleaning up after and more.

Gardening

We have a large amount of green space outside at Dudhope Castle that needs regular maintenance, especially in summer. This is a great opportunity to get fresh air, get in contact with nature and be part of maintaining a public area!

Tasks involve watering large areas, weeding, outdoor furniture painting and more.

Events

Lend a hand at events and outings, from setting up to facilitating and making everyone feel welcome. A fun way to connect and contribute!

Some tasks can be serving drinks, directing people, announcements and cleaning up.
