Bishop’s Castle Heritage Resource Centre and the two town museums, the House on Crutches and
Bishop’s Castle Railway and Transport Museum are voluntary organisations, run by enthusiastic
volunteers. Involvement in a wide range of activities is open to everyone, at whatever level of commitment.
You could work with the collections - stabilising their condition, managing the flow of items in and out of the store, or photographing and cataloguing them.
Some activities involve working with people of all ages - helping to host visits, taking materials out to groups and schools and assisting researchers. Other activities are more individual and creative, such as mounting displays and up-dating educational materials.
And if you have management skills or a talent for marketing or publicity, we can definitely find an outlet for them!
We have policies in place to support and protect volunteers’ interests, and full public and employers liability insurance.
As well as finding out more about your local heritage you will be making a valuable contribution towards this community endeavour. If you are interested in any of the above activities, an ongoing programme of training is on offer and a warm welcome awaits!
