“Would I recommend volunteering at Polka? 100%. It’s so different, and so rewarding. You feel welcome no matter what your background or experience is. It’s such a nice feeling. I feel like I can do it, and I’m valued.” – Megan
“The reason I wanted to volunteer was because I was taking early retirement and would have spare time to give to a good cause. I enjoy volunteering at the Polka because I am involved with the local community and I find it a very positive experience. I particularly enjoy assisting and sitting in on a show, and seeing the children’s faces light up as they watch and engage with the shows.” – Pauline
“It’s been a pleasure to join the team at Polka as a Volunteer, everyone’s been very welcoming and friendly, making the shifts enjoyable. It’s very rewarding seeing children engage and enjoy watching Theatre, sometimes for their very first time! Experience here has helped me get my first job in Theatre too, so I’d highly recommend volunteering at Polka. You’ve got nothing to lose!” – Lizzie
“Has volunteering at Polka improved my self-confidence? 100%, it has helped me get out of my shell to openly communicate non-judgmentally with children of all ages and different needs. Volunteering at Polka Theatre has been a great experience for me and I appreciate all the support I’ve been given by the volunteering team.” – Xander
