Front of House Team

At The Lightbox we have a fantastic team of volunteers who give up their time to help us. They fulfil a wide range of Front of House roles including greeting our visitors, supervising exhibitions, leading tours and lending a hand at special events.

Some volunteers come in once a week, but others just help out whenever they can. They play a vital role at The Lightbox and are fundamental to our success and sustainability.

Learning & Engagement Team

The Learning & Engagement team works closely with all areas of the local community, from under 5s to older people. Our work wouldn’t be possible without the help of our wonderful team of volunteers.

The team runs workshops for schools, young people, families and adults, as well as a wide range of community programmes.

Schools & Families Volunteer Vacancy

This role supports the Learning and Engagement team with two of our core activities:

School Workshops

• From storytelling to designing a gallery, our schools' workshops explore the artwork on display in the galleries or look into the history of Woking.
• Through interactive tasks and practical making activities, these are exciting and stimulating workshops for all, even the volunteers!

Family Activities

• During the school holidays, we run lots of engaging workshops for all ages. Either free drop-in crafts or bookable paid workshops.
• These workshops are a great way to keep children entertained in the holidays, and also get their brains thinking about art and creativity.

This is an ad hoc volunteering opportunity with activities running particularly on weekdays during the day.

If you are interested in helping with our schools and family activities please read the Volunteer Role Description below, fill out the registration form and return to [email protected]

I applied to volunteer at The Lightbox in summer. The building both externally and internally is truly inspirational, providing a fantastic array of artwork. I believe I can make a real contribution to the work the gallery does for the community and the art world. Having met some of the team, I instantly felt right at home and thoroughly enjoyed my guided tour around the gallery. Here’s to you Lightbox team! See you this Summer.

What a wonderful surprise to see such a spread when I arrived at the Volunteer Tea Party!! I was expecting a slice of cake and a cuppa, but you’d really pushed the boat out! Thank you it was such a lovely tea party and good to catch up with other Volunteers.

The Lightbox is always breaking new ground and moving forward. There are so many offshoots going out from the building, like the dementia initiative, the drawing workshops, the young curators, the children’s workshops, the Friends of The Lightbox and the links with Woking College and WWF.
