We would like to sincerely thank the many dedicated volunteers who assist us with a multitude of daily tasks. For example, without our magazine mailout team, we would not be able to get northerly out to our members . Other volunteers regularly help us to manage and keep a tidy borrowing library, assist with the endless piles of administration, and lend a hand with many more tasks too great to mention.
By far the greatest volunteer support we receive is assisting with the annual Byron Writers Festival. We have a fantastic team of 140 tireless volunteers who help us pull off an exciting literary event every year.
We are always looking for friendly people with a passion for writing and reading to join our team of volunteers. Sometimes we even advertise specific volunteer positions in our members’ magazine northerly.
We have two volunteer programs here at Byron Writers Festival.
Our year-round volunteers provide administrative assistance in the office. Please email Siobhan Foley on [email protected] with your details, CV, availability and what area you are interested in volunteering in.
2018 Festival volunteer applications will be open 1 – 25 May .
