This week is Volunteers Week. Our amazing group of volunteers gave 5500 hours of their time to keep a museum in Herne Bay last year.

Not only are they on the front desk keeping the museum open 5 days a week they are facilitating school visits, leading walks, giving talks, installing exhibitions, fundraising, looking after museum objects, helping out with our many events, ordering shop stock and constantly thinking about ways to make the museum and shop better.

Fancy joining them? Pop into the museum and ask for a volunteer questionnaire.
