Volunteering
Volunteering at King Edward Mine Inside and Outside All Year
You can help at King Edward Mine - whatever your interest
We have made special arrangements during the COVID emergency to keep all our volunteers safe, both inside and outside.
Please don’t think that volunteering at King Edward is only for people of retirement age. We welcome younger people, so that skills can be passed on before they disappear. We have many volunteers in their 20s, working alongside our experienced crew.
Although we are always on the lookout for help with engineering, there are a number of other areas available such as front of house, retailing, education, estates, health and safety, administration including data management and curatorial.
From this list you can see there are a wide variety of tasks that you could help with. Helping at the museum could look good on your CV.
There are often working parties for major refurbishment and repairs taking place on Wednesday and Sunday mornings. You could become involved as little or as much as you wish,
It is a regular commitment that is really needed. A sense of humour is more important than experience as you can learn on the job.
If you are interested please contact info@kingedwardmine.co.uk
The team comprises people who amongst many other professions were (or are) medics, secretaries, engineers and gardeners.
