As a volunteer-run organisation, we depend on many people who generously give their time to help the museum to thrive. The amount and duration of time that volunteers are able to give varies very much from person to person, and this is reflected in our different ways of working.
Many of our volunteers work with the museum on a regular basis, carrying out day-to-day activities or helping to organise events. Others prefer to work on a specific activity for just a short period of time; this may particularly suit students, or young people between jobs or new to the area. Still others join one of our groups or projects to indulge a specific passion, such as archaeology or gardening, or to research a particular aspect of local history.
A few examples of our volunteer roles and activities are shown below. If you have particular skills or interests, or would like to meet new people, and can spare a few hours a month we would love to hear from you. For information about how to get involved, please ring Sylvia Hixson Andrews on 01258 450388 or email contact@blandfordtownmuseum.org.uk.
