Volunteer with us

Last year 40 volunteers and interns helped to create the most successful Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival to date, and with the next Festival just around the corner, now is your chance to get involved!

Recruitment for volunteers for the 2011 Festival is now open.

See below for the guidelines and for details on what volunteering entails. 

What we’re looking for

We want to make sure everyone gets the most out of their experience by volunteering with the festival and so you have the chance to let us know what you are interested in so that you can gain skills, knowledge and experience to help you with your work, study or interests. This will help us to ensure that we get to use the relevant skills and experience our volunteers have to offer and also for us to give learning and training opportunities for the future.

What you get out of it

What else do you get out of volunteering with the festival?
 - A Festival Pass
 - Special preview screenings of the programme
 - A free t-shirt
 - Get to see the films and exhibitions for free when you are volunteering
 - Learn new skills and gain experience

It may be possible to offer assistance with travel and accommodation for those wanting to volunteer from outside the local area.
