We are a charity, inspiring people with disabilities and long-term health issues to discover their creative energy and build self confidence through art. Working at their own pace in supportive groups, our members find both relaxation and fresh stimulus, along with the opportunity to make new friends.

Volunteers make our groups happen. So your few hours a week could make a real difference to people's lives. We are seeking group helpers to support our Epsom Group.  

As a volunteer you will need to be 18 or over and part of a team.

A good team will include organisational skills, artistic experience, finance management and making the refreshments. Volunteers are the people who make Conquest Art possible.

Could you join the team?

Not every volunteer needs artistic ability, but you do need to be a ‘people person’ – enthusiastic, and ready to help create a friendly, welcoming environment where members feel relaxed and able to make the most of their time with us.

The Epsom groups meets on Tuesdays from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. 

* Please get in contact to find out how our groups are run and how you can get involved in the volunteer team.  

What skills do I need?

The ability to organise small groups in a positive and relaxed atmosphere

Experience and empathy with disabled people is desirable

Reliability, enthusiasm and commitment

Artistic, crafting and creative knowledge is not essential but will be useful 

Setting up and clearing away each week

Helping during the session with art materials, guidance and artistic ideas

Someone who can help with refreshments

Long term commitment

Being part of one of art groups is a team effort which need a variety of different gifts from organisational skills, artistic experience to someone dealing with the money or making the tea. But most of all we need is your enthusiasm. This opportunity is for someone who would like to volunteer long term and wants to help enrich people with disabilities and health issues use their imagination and creativity.
