Arts & Crafts Volunteers
Do you love being creative? Do you enjoy connecting with people?
Why not combine the two and make a real difference to someone’s day?
We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are passionate about arts and crafts and would like to support patients staying at the Llandough Hospital and Barry Hospital.
As an Arts & Crafts Volunteer, you will help enhance patients’ wellbeing by offering creative activities such as painting, needlework, colouring, origami, card making or any other craft you enjoy and wish to share.
The focus isn’t on creating a perfect finished piece — it’s about engagement, social interaction, creativity, and giving patients the chance to choose what they want to make and how they want to make it.
These sessions are not art classes or therapy sessions, but relaxed opportunities for patients to express themselves and enjoy meaningful activity.
Please note: this role does not involve art therapy or counselling.
What we’re looking for:
Our ideal Arts & Crafts Volunteers are:
- Friendly, outgoing, and approachable
- Good listeners who enjoy chatting with people
- Confident in sharing a hobby or creative skill
- Patient, encouraging and supportive
- Willing to undertake necessary training
Volunteers will need to be available for a minimum of 2 hours per week (Monday-Friday) and be able to commit to at least 6 months of volunteering with us.
You will need to be over 18 years old to apply for these roles.
Applications open 9/02/2026 and close 10/03/2026. Please submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to change the closing date of this opportunity should there be a substantial number of people interested in the role.
Please apply for one location only.
