I started in the coffee bar and now I also help take the door money when the young people sign in, and more recently I got involved with helping organise fundraising events. The more I saw of the young people, how it changed lives for the better and how important the place was to them, the more I wanted to be a part of it and help out. Livewire gave my son a place where he could meet other young people with an interest in the music scene and I saw his confidence grow. Why wouldn’t you want to volunteer for such a brilliant project. Livewire saves lives and changes lives, but it’s also a fun, vibrant, place to be and makes volunteering feel really worthwhile. ” “ When I went down on my first night to Livewire I really hadn’t a clue of what I would find, how the young people would be etc. Four years later I can report it has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever been part of. It gives me a facet of my life that I would never have experienced - i.e. mixing with groups of young people, of all backgrounds - 99.9% of whom are funny, lively, creative and polite and in an environment that is welcoming and accepting for all. Not to mention the great crowd of fellow volunteers I work with. Yes sometimes it’s a bit of a squeeze fitting Thursday night into my life but I would hate to lose it. To be honest volunteering at Livewire gives me more than I could ever give in return. ” “ I’ve volunteered for much of my adult life. It’s a way to occupy some spare time, a change of scene, and importantly I enjoy being part of the community giving something back. I started at Livewire around 8 years ago, as a volunteer youth worker, and because I’m a designer by day, I look after our web site, contribute to our social media input, and produce promotional literature all in a voluntary capacity. The importance of a place like Livewire to the local young people is tangible. It’s rewarding to help and steer the next generation through their ups and downs of growing up. Being part of a dedicated and supportive team of musicians and youth workers is brilliant. You should give it a go - come and volunteer! ”
