The Film Theatre is a registered charity and it relies largely on the services of volunteers to keep running costs down. The only paid member of staff is a part-time administrator. The Theatre does not rely on external grants and supports itself through box office receipts and bar sales.
Volunteers sell tickets, serve at the bar, doorstep, project fims and manage the cinema.
Organised into eight teams, volunteers work once a fortnight and get a free ticket for every shift worked. For most, the commitment works out to less than one hour per week. Voluntary Help is needed to keep the Film Theatre operating economically, and we are very grateful to the many volunteers who have given all their time and made the Film Theatre possible. We always need extra help and if you can spare some time occasionally or on a more regular basis, please contact us at 01782 413622.
