We believe that everyone has something unique to offer, and volunteering at The Beacon Museum is a fantastic way to make a difference to the community in an interesting and friendly environment. Our volunteers are invaluable members of the team who ensure to help keep everything running smoothly. From being a gallery guide to assisting our curator, to digitalising our collection, there’s a variety of ways you can get involved at The Beacon Museum. We also have opportunities available where you can get involved in one-off projects, help look after artefacts, repairing costumes or assisting at events.
