Andro and Eve’s programme is developed by listening to voices from our LGBTQ+ community.
As well as receiving regular feedback from those who attend our activities, each year we undertake a survey to hear from those who might not have had the chance to have their say. We ask a wider range of questions to help us understand what matters to our community.
If you leave your email address, we will enter you into a prize draw to win a bundle of Andro and Eve merch, including our Extravaganza Artwork tee, postcards, pin badges and stickers plus queer literature including new queer zine, Reyt Proud!
The survey is hosted on Google Forms and closes at midnight 29 April. Go on, have your say!
Andro and Eve is about bringing our community together, and one of the ways we do that is by working with a fab team of volunteers who give their time to help make our events happen.
As we prepare for some activities in the coming year we’re looking to expand our volunteer team who support our events and workshops in a variety of ways. We’d love to hear from you if you’ve got some time and energy to help out.
Our volunteers serving up cake – no event is without it!
Our volunteers assist with the following tasks at our events and workshops:-
– Interacting with our community, providing a warm welcome, giving directions, responding to access requests and assisting with crowd control. – Decorating venues pre event; think hanging bunting, fairy lights, all the sparkle! – Handling cash / using card machine for sales of raffle tickets / merch and cake. – Keeping venues clean and trip hazard free! Clearing up after the event and packing away. – Helping safeguard our community, working with our Safer Spaces and Safeguarding policies. – Helping collect data from audience members and participants to support Andro and Eve’s evaluation processes.
And for online events:-
– Admitting people onto zoom calls – Monitoring the chat and providing support to participants – Helping keep the online space safe, working with our Safer Spaces and Safeguarding policies.
We’re also keen to hear from people who would be up for distributing our posters and flyers, this is an important part of helping us reach new people.
If you are interested in supporting a small queer arts organisation and meeting new people then becoming part of Andro and Eve’s volunteer crew might be for you.
Typically, we ask volunteers wanting to help with events to work with us on evenings and weekends, and for shifts of 3 – 6 hours. In return for your support, we provide:-
– Free food at in person events – Local travel expenses covered – Free training and support in advance of events – Team socials
As one previous volunteer said –
‘Getting involved with Andro and Eve has been a great decision. There’s something really powerful about coming together and putting on these fabulous events to celebrate aspects of our queer culture. The team are so friendly, and it’s been a pleasure to meet so many new friends from those involved’.
