Lawrence Batley Theatre are thrilled to be part of the Future Creative scheme, an exciting new initiative for young people. 

This is a unique opportunity to get involved in events that are happening as part of Kirklees Year of Music 2023, as well as other creative events throughout Kirklees. The volunteer programme provides 16–24-year-olds with the chance to make connections, meet new people and enhance their CV.

Becky Atkinson, Chief Executive of Lawrence Batley Theatre, said “It’s really important that young people have opportunities to be involved in the arts right here in Huddersfield and Kirklees. There is so much talent and we want to help nurture that and showcase the wide range of career opportunities available, on stage, backstage and off stage”.

Imogen Spencer, Future Creative Project officer, said “We already have a wonderful team of over 20 volunteers who have been keen to engage in the activities and events so far this year. We have lots more events planned and want to reach out to encourage more young people to get involved.”

With lots of exciting events planned for the coming months, and a rolling recruitment process, Future Creative would love for more young people to become a part of the team. If you are interested in music, art and theatre or just want to get some experience in a flexible and supportive environment, then this could be a great opportunity for you.
