Volunteers are the life blood of GRASS and the success of our events and projects entirely depends on their contribution! We welcome the participation of people with a desire to contribute to the success of GRASS, people who are eager to enjoy the experience, and help ensure that everything runs smoothly. Above all, we are looking for people who are enthusiastic and want to help create excitement around all our community engagement work here in Cliftonville!

Volunteer at GRASS Events
You don’t have to live in Cliftonville to volunteer, we welcome people from all over Thanet who have a desire to make a difference in our community.
Here are some of our events for which we need volunteers, so if you have some spare time and would like to get involved, please complete the contact form below and we’ll get in touch.
Cliftonville Outdoor Cinema is returning in 2021 and will have four movie screenings showing in Cliftonville this summer. To help make each event a success, GRASS Cliftonville needs a strong team of passionate volunteers to be part of the team.
As well as being able to watch these fantastic films on our big screen, volunteers will receive training and the opportunity to enjoy the experience of helping out at one of our fun events. With this hands on approach you will also get a taste of event management as this is a great opportunity to see the behind-the-scenes workings of a an outdoor cinema event.
GRASS requires volunteers to be enthusiastic, engaging, passionate about film and, most importantly of all, professional and courteous to our guests.
If you volunteer you may be asked to greet audiences on the gates, take money, check tickets, answer questions, pack down and clear up. You may need to help audience members find their way around the site, locate suitable seats, and have a basic understanding of the film being shown.
Open to everyone, our annual community fair has, arts, crafts, & street food stalls, and a range of games for all and fun activities, including live music at the bandstand.
The Cliftonville Games has a key focus on community, well-being, celebrating diversity and inclusion.
We are looking for volunteers that can help with setup, site management, and then de-rig once the event has closed. There will also be opportunities to help at our concessions and assist with various activities throughout the day.
Just some of the activities at the Cliftonville Games for which we need volunteers include:
The GRASS Children’s Christmas Party is free to enter for children living in Cliftonville West. At the party we have Santa Claus and his elf in his grotto handing out presents, kids entertainment including a magic show and balloon modelling, free party food, plus lots more besides. We are always looking for volunteers to help deliver this incredibly popular event.
