GET INVOLVED

Looking to try something new or build your skills? Join #TeamAppetite!

Our #TeamAppetite family are at the heart of everything we do, volunteering their time, ideas and enthusiasm in lots of ways, from spreading the word about Appetite in the community and welcoming audiences at events to going on cultural fact-finding missions across the country and helping us decide what is on the programme.

There’s no fixed commitment to volunteering with Appetite – you can get involved as much or as little as you like, in ways that suit your skills, interests and confidence level.

We’re a friendly, inclusive team and we’ll support you if you’d like to try something different or develop your experience.

Take part in our radio show!

Our good friends at 6 Towns Radio let us take over their station on the second Thursday of every month, 3-5pm.

We bring you the news about what’s going on in the arts where we live, fascinating chats with people from other cultural and local organisations and, of course, music.

Got something you’d like to share with our audience? Discover Our Radio Show » and let us know about it. Or get in touch to request a great tune. Bonus points if it reminds you of an Appetite event!

We work with community groups.

Access and inclusion for all is a core principle of Appetite, though we know that participating in the arts and attending events can be harder for some people.

That’s why Appetite works with local community groups to understand what barriers their members face, and how best to create a programme that not only welcomes them, but weaves their viewpoint into the fabric of what we do at every stage.
