How You Can Help
Donate Your Time
The Heritage Centre relies on volunteers to do all the work - although we are about to appoint a part-time Curator and a part-time Education Officer (April 2011). Some people help out at the Heritage Centre and some work mainly from their own homes which are often miles from Bellingham - these are the people who handle grant applications, the accounts, publicity, our new newsletter editor and the volunteer who keeps the press-cuttings files. Some of the tasks we need help with are:
- Meeting and greeting visitors/showing people around the museum;
- Helping with special events;
- Helping with school visits;
- Fundraising;
- Publicity/press work
- Writing for/illustrating the Newsletter;
- Photography/graphics/design/signwriting;
- Working with museum objects;
- Cataloguing - manual and computerised;
- Website/IT/computers/digitisation;
- Admin - updating files, photocopying etc;
- Maintenance;
- Last but equally important: cleaning and dusting.
If you would like to help with any of the above, we would love to hear from you! Email: Contact Us Tel: 01434 220050
