Volunteering

Here at BEAP, those who want to get involved have so many ways to do so - and believe me, they seem to keep discovering more.

Whilst we have always prided ourselves on allowing older students to return to us and pass on their expertise in singing, acting, dancing or even set making and lighting design, we have never had more weekly volunteers than we do right now!

As well as those who come year after year, we take on a few Duke of Edinburgh students who complete the Volunteering section of their qualification with us. We have offered this for a long time, and are proud to say we can continue to support our alumni in this way.

Our BEAP volunteers lead sessions for BEAP, BEAP Xtra, or both, with most of them being too busy being in the Big BEAP shows to attend to backstage management. Through taking our younger Beapers through script-work, dance routines, singing lessons, set making sessions and whatever else Ali decides to send their way, our BEAP volunteers also find themselves developing a life-long skill in working with children and in safeguarding , and we are proud to have had many ex-volunteers come back to us and discuss how their BEAP experience helped them with employment, friendship and general wellbeing.
