Reviewing
We always need people to write reviews of local arts events. Most local arts venues will provide free tickets to accredited VL reviewers by prior arrangement.

Behind the Scenes
We always need volunteers to help behind the scenes, such as with:
- Moderating and editing submitted content
- SEO stuff
- WordPress site configuration
- Short-term projects, such as one-off technical jobs, research on a particular issue or checking a section of listings for their up-to-dateness.
- Research for stories and features
- Improvements you’d like to bring in
- Ideas for monetisation / sustainability in keeping with a community website ethos
At the moment we particularly need somebody who’s knowledgeable about local sport and would like to contribute news items, match reports, event listings, or anything else about sport in the Lancaster area.

Is volunteering for Virtual Lancaster time-consuming?
It’s exactly as big or as small a job as you choose to make it. Whether you want to put in ten hours a week or ten minutes a month (or any other amount of time), your contribution will be very welcome. If you want to do more when you can spare the time, then do less (or take a break from VL) when you’re busy, that’s fine.
If you think you can help in any of these areas, and would like to find out more, please email ed@virtual-lancaster.net.

Donate
Although the site is maintained by unpaid volunteers and receives no grants or funding (it’s an independence thing), it still costs money to run.
