Opportunity hosted by: Carers Manchester
Description:

You know when an unpaid carer needs to take a break from their caring role to unwind and relax? Well, what we do is work with The Halle and the Bridgewater Hall to offer free monthly concerts for carers. In fact, we arrange around 8 trips to the Halle every year and these are attended by up to 25 carers.

Carers Manchester is looking for people to support the smooth running of these events.

Your role will depend on your availability. This could include developing publicity and calling carers who have enquired about the event. Other volunteers choose to support us at the event itself. This includes:

Welcoming carers and encouraging them to take time out and enjoy some beautiful live music.
Registering carers who attend.
Supporting carers to find their way around the building.
Being a friendly face, chatting to carers during the interval.
