Castle Donington Museum is an award winning charity run entirely by volunteers. Our volunteer roles vary across plenty of opportunities, such as:
- Acting as a Steward when the museum is open to the public
- Working as a team to catalogue and care for the museum’s collection of artefacts
- Helping to maintain our listed 17th Century home, and the surrounding gardens
- Publicity and forward planning
- Setting up and supporting visitors at social and fundraising events
- Keeping our social channels and website up to date
Volunteering with us means varied and interesting opportunities to work with like-minded people, across all sorts of topics.
We’re always happy to hear from people who’d like to volunteer! On a weekly or monthly basis, or at occasional events, support from those interested in sharing our local history is essential for the museum to continue to develop and grow.
No existing knowledge is required. Where needed, training is provided, either in-house or through attending training days hosted by the East Midlands Museum Services or the Leicestershire Museum Forum. All of our volunteers are covered by our Insurance Policy whilst working on behalf of the Museum.
Volunteering at the museum can benefit you in many ways. You can meet new people, gain a sense of purpose, share your skills with others and learn new ones. It can be very rewarding to volunteer – it can help to build confidence, and just like work experience it looks great on your CV.
Whether you’re 18 or 80, there’s an engaging role for everyone at Castle Donington Museum!
