The role descriptions on this page are intended to give you an idea of what each volunteer role entails, though the duties may vary from time to time depending on the specific requirements of an event.

Overview of volunteering at the Landmark.
Due to limited desk and computer space the office can normally only accommodate one office volunteer at a time, so generally volunteers work for either an afternoon or a morning either once a week or fortnightly depending on their availability.
Although the Centre has something going on virtually every day and evening, seven days a week, not all these activities are organised by LAC, therefore volunteers may only be required once or twice a month for this role.
Stewarding at events is an important task as it helps us ensure all our visitors have a good experience and also helps us fulfill our legal obligations under the terms of our premises license. For example, at every concert we are required to have stewards positioned at each Fire Exit throughout the performance.
The number of events varies, but is usually around four per month, with exhibitions and fairs usually running over a whole weekend.
The café and bar is an important feature of many of the events held at the Centre. The profits raised make a valuable contribution to funding our charitable activities.
The café is normally open for fairs and the bar during evening concerts and events. However once or twice a month we also operate the café for our Book Club, Classical babies concerts and Bring Your Own baby Comedy Club.
The café is run by Michele Sims and her team from Enjoy Party & Event catering serving a small, wholesome menu of hot and cold drinks, light snacks (salads, sandwiches etc) and cakes. Volunteers are not required to undertake food preparation. Full training, including basic food hygiene procedures, will be given and aprons are provided.
Normally café volunteers work in 2 hour shifts, but if you wished to stay for longer that would be very welcome.
The Bar is normally entirely run by volunteers under the direction of the House Manager.
Most of the grounds around the LAC are the responsibility of the housing association, with whom we share the site. However, we are responsible for a large area known as ‘The Wilderness’ which fronts the Kingston and Ferry roads and also for the shrub beds immediately against the building.
In 2016 we formed a volunteer gardening group who meet monthly on a Saturday morning.
