You don't have to be a history expert to join us, you just need to have a few spare hours, a passion for supporting a local charity and lovely warm welcome to share with our visitors.

Come along to this informative morning to meet some of the team, enjoy a cuppa and take a tour of the museum to see what you can be involved with.
