Please note that we do not expect our volunteers to be available across all of the dates! The closing date for applications is 27th May 2016.

The role Volunteering for The Streets will have at its core a focus on engaging with your borough’s local community. This will range from acting as a point of reference for locals and visitors, who may not know the reasons for bringing arts and entertainment to London’s high streets, to handing out performance information and flyers.
We will also need some volunteers to liaise with artists on-site prior to their performances, to carry out ‘Meet and Greets’ and to assist with the physical setting up of the venues being used.
