Most arts groups are run by volunteers, with roles ranging from administration to fundraising to performing and directing. If you are interested in volunteering in a museum look in the phone book or library for local museums that interest you. The National Trust conserves many of Britain s historical buildings and landscapes for the benefit of the nation, from Roman sites to contemporary houses and industrial architecture, mountains, woodland and coast.
Volunteers are active and welcome at every level of the trust, including working holidays.
The Trust s Volunteering and Community Involvement Office can put you in touch with the regional offices, which link people with volunteering opportunities at Trust properties. Details of regional offices can also be found on the website. It is responsible for protecting the best of this country's unique legacy of historic buildings, landscapes and archaeological sites for the benefit of this and future generations. English Heritage cannot provide volunteer placements, but their site will give you a good overview of the heritage sector, and provide information on local sites of interest. We are committed to providing equality of opportunity in access to membership, goods and services.
