New Volunteering Group to Support Arts, Culture and Heritage in Bridlington

A volunteering scheme which was set up to support Hull's City of Culture events in 2017 is to expand to Bridlington.

HEY! Volunteering was set up to support Hull’s year as UK City of Culture in 2017 and since then has continued to support arts, culture and heritage across the region.

It's now opening an offshoot in Bridlington and they are looking for residents to sign up in their first wave of recruitment.

Program Manager Abi Bell says there are some exciting projects in the works.

Volunteers will support events, venues and organisations in Bridlington that have an arts, culture or heritage focus, here is Abi with more details:

The team behind HEY! Brid say there are lots of benefits to volunteering from confidence building and meeting new friends to boosting skills and improving employability.

Volunteering with HEY! Brid will be open to everyone aged 16+ with no minimum commitment required. Volunteers decide what shifts they sign up to according to interests and availability - whether that's once a week, once a month or a couple of times a year. Volunteers will also get access to a free masterclass programme where they can try their hand at a diverse range of creative or skills building activities. 

Abi explains how to get involved and get in touch:-

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
