Volunteer Choir Chaperones

🌟 Become a Choir Chaperone at Guildford Cathedral 🌟

Do you love choral music? Could you spare a couple of hours on a weekday afternoon to support the young people who make our Cathedral choir so special?

We're looking for volunteer Choir Chaperones to help provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for our choristers during rehearsals and services.

🎶 Support one of the Cathedral's most treasured traditions
👥 Help care for and encourage young choristers
🛡️ Play an important role in safeguarding and wellbeing
🤝 Be part of a friendly and supportive volunteer community

Worship lies at the heart of Cathedral life, and our choir plays a vital role in that worship. With around 40 choristers aged 7–18 singing at services each week, chaperones are essential in helping everything run smoothly.

As a Choir Chaperone, you'll help supervise choristers before, during, and after rehearsals and services, ensuring they are safe, supported, and able to enjoy their time in the choir. No previous experience is necessary — full training will be provided.
