Volunteer FAQ's

No matter your interests, there is probably something that you can do to help with the project.   It may be that a simple admin role would suit you, or you may be interested in transferring the floating stage and service boats to its next location.   The following document gives you the huge range of activities needed to run the project.

The Floating Stage will be operating on the Lowland Canal Network in Scotland.   That includes the Union Canal, and the Forth & Clyde Canal connecting Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all points in between including The Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies.   But you don't need to reside in the area.

You can decide where (and when) you wish to volunteer / work. It may be you want to work from home as there are many opportunities to do so.

Get in touch and we can discuss it with you.

That is entirely up to you.   You can commit to as much or as little as you wish.  Some roles will require more attention at specific times, but others you will be able to fit into your other comitments.

Yes, more than likely.   The project encompasses so many disciplines, many having nothing to do with boats, canals or entertainment, there is sure to be something that appeals.    Or you can use this as an opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people, or simply just lend a hand where necessary.   There is much more information in our Volunteering Booklet.

Very much so.    The project may produce some shows itself, but we will also be in close contact with many production organisations who will need help in setting up the floating stage.   They may even be looking for performers, production teams etc.

The Floating Stage newsletter will keep you up to date with what is happening, the progress we are making in bringing the project to fruition, and lots of other information about The Floating Stage.     We will not bombard you with too many issues, and you can subscribe to the newsletter here, (and un-subscribe at any time).
