Volunteer With Us

9a is a friendly, welcoming place to give your time, meet new people and be part of something that matters in Todmorden. As a community interest company, we run our gallery and project space for the benefit of local people, and our volunteers are at the heart of making that possible.

Whether you are curious about the creative and cultural sector, looking to build new experience, or simply want to spend time in a warm and sociable space, we would love to hear from you. No previous experience is needed, just an interest in being involved.

What we can offer you

A friendly and welcoming place to volunteer, where you will feel part of the team from day one. Volunteering with us is a chance to meet new people and build friendships, and it offers a genuine introduction to working in the creative and cultural sector. You will gain real experience of volunteering in an artist and gallery space, with clear expectations of your role so you always know what to expect. Our sign up rota system is easy to use and fits around your life, and we cover expenses for travel and caring responsibilities so that volunteering is open to everyone.

What we hope you can offer

In return, we hope you will bring a willingness to make a difference where you live. By volunteering with us you support a community interest company that serves the needs of local people, and you help us provide a resource that residents can access at low cost or for free. Most of all, we hope you will share in the sense of community that makes 9a what it is.
