Why Volunteer?

28th November 2009

Why become a volunteer?


We are looking for enthusiastic people who have an interest in museums and a willingness to provide a good service to the public. All we ask is your interest and commitment to spare a few hours in your week to help us out whilst doing something you enjoy.

We appreciate that there are many different reasons why people want to volunteer, but we are particularly looking for the following:

Work Experience


Are you a student or graduate who wishes to follow a career in museums or heritage? We can offer the opportunity to gain valuable experience working in a museum, which is an essential element of any CV.

People Skills?


Do you enjoy helping and talking to the public? If so, you may be able to help us at our museum events, such as Victorian Christmas. We are sometimes also short of people to watch over our temporary exhibitions and carry out visitor surveys.

Please see our VOLUNTEER PROJECTS page for more information and contact details.
