“I saw sign post volunteering opportunities on the window of Accidental building, then I thought about my recently completed Photography courses, so I reacted to give it try and signed up then here I am. It’s lovely, fun and I enjoy being part off entertaining people.” -Tensai
“Having spent time as a technical volunteer at the Accidental Theatre within the last year, I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences. I came into the role whilst studying Music Performance at Queen’s University, and I found that my volunteering was integral to strengthening my learning by giving me an opportunity to put it into practice. The staff at the theatre made it incredibly easy to get started and were always approachable when I had questions or any issues when on the job. I couldn’t recommend it enough to any who are interested!” - Ruadhán,
