Sunbeams Volunteers
Volunteer musician
David Foley
It is with great sadness to announce that David passed away on 31st August 2023. Our deepest sympathies are with his family at this present time.
David gave his time and talents so generously to all here at Sunbeams. He touched the lives of many and has left very heavy hearts far and wide.
We will all treasure the memories shared with David here at Sunbeams and we are so grateful for his invaluable contributions to the delivery of Sunbeams Charitable Projects.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Work Placement Students
Although we would love to be able to offer Work Placements, we are a very small team and we are unable to give the time and resources a student deserves. However, we always welcome volunteer students over 16 years of age who might be able to offer a couple of hours in the holidays.
Sessional Project Volunteer
Can you offer a couple of hours each week to help with the set up of rooms for our Projects? Welcome our beneficiaries and even join in sessions where appropriate. Some Projects also require refreshments…could you help in the serving of these and the washing up?
Events Volunteer
Fancy helping with promotion and publicity or helping out at our monthly concerts and fundraising events? We need volunteers for events throughout the year to attend usually evening or weekends. If you’re outgoing, have an interest in music and would like to support us please get in touch.
Conference & Meeting Room Centre Volunteer
One of our big income generators is Meeting Room Hire. All the money we make is put back in to our music projects, We are often looking for volunteers to assist in the meeting & greeting of delegates, serving of coffees and lunch.
