Arts & Crafts Volunteer
Use your creativity to help fund Only Notts. Make handmade items we can sell online, use as raffle prizes and take to fundraising events.
What You’ll Do
Create handmade items that help raise money for Only Notts CIC. Your work could become an Etsy product, a raffle prize, a giveaway or something we sell at one of our fundraising events.
Make creative products and handmade items
Suggest new products or seasonal ideas
Create raffle prizes and event giveaways
Help make small batches of products for online sales
Support packaging, presentation or product preparation if you enjoy it
Work on approved projects from home or at Only Notts where suitable
What Could You Make?
We want this role to stay open to different kinds of creativity. You do not need to fit into one particular style.
Artwork, prints and cards
Keyrings, badges and small accessories
Bracelets, jewellery and handmade gifts
Customised clothing or fabric items
Decorations and seasonal crafts
Nottingham, music or Only Notts-inspired products
Other creative ideas you think people would genuinely want to buy or win
How Products Will Work
We want people to experiment without creating piles of stock that may not sell. New product ideas will normally follow a simple process:
Idea → Only Notts approval → small test batch → photograph/list or use at an event → make more if it works.
We may also create seasonal collections around Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and other fundraising opportunities.
What You’ll Get
A creative outlet where the things you make have a real purpose
The chance to see your products sold online or used at real fundraising events
Experience in product development, creative fundraising, Etsy, packaging and branding
Portfolio pieces and practical experience where appropriate
References for future jobs, volunteering or education where appropriate
Opportunities to collaborate with other local creatives
Access to wider Only Notts volunteering and events
The chance to help shape a growing Only Notts creative merchandise range
Who We’re Looking For
You do not need to be a professional artist. You might sell your work already, make things as a hobby, be learning a craft, or simply have a creative skill you would like to put to good use.
Arts & Crafts Volunteers are part of the wider Only Notts volunteer team, so our normal volunteer rules, expectations and safeguarding standards still apply.
