Cinema Night Support Volunteer (CSVA)

Our much-loved Cinema Night has been running for over 20 years and is a highlight of the month for many of our members.

Held on the third Saturday of each month, the session offers a relaxed and inclusive cinema experience, with films shown on a large projector screen and surround sound. There is a short interval with refreshments, and attendees can simply turn up—no booking required.

The session is volunteer-led and supported by an experienced lead volunteer, creating a warm and community-focused environment.

The Role

We are looking for friendly and reliable volunteers to help support and run Cinema Night.

This is a facilitation role, focused on creating a welcoming and enjoyable group environment rather than providing direct care.

· Assisting with refreshments during the interval

· Helping tidy up and close down at the end of the evening

· Friendly, patient and approachable

· Reliable and able to commit to a regular monthly session

· Comfortable working as part of a small volunteer team

· Happy to follow guidance and support a safe environment

· No previous experience is necessary—just a positive attitude.

What You’ll Gain

· Experience supporting people with learning disabilities or autism

· The opportunity to be part of a long-standing, valued community activity

· A welcoming and supportive volunteer environment

· The chance to make a real difference locally
