Volunteering
Our crew of volunteers are very highly valued members of the museum team. Our volunteers help in almost every aspect of what we do and contribute their time and skills to the successful running of the museum, working alongside our staff team. We are extremely grateful for the continued support of our volunteers whose time and effort have contributed so much to the museum and our visitors. Whatever your background or experience, volunteering for the museum might just be for you.
You can get involved in a variety of ways:
- Work in public facing roles that help us engage our visitors with our collection and exhibitions; help us create an unforgettable day out for our visitors
- Work with our learning team to provide an inspirational school visit
- Assist visitors to our Library with their research enquiries
- Gain valuable hands-on experience and skills throughout a variety of volunteer roles
