Volunteers’ Week takes place every year from 1-7 June and gives businesses and charities across the UK an opportunity to shout about the fantastic contribution volunteers make. With a team of over 79 volunteers supporting roles crucial to the daily running of The Museum, volunteering is truly at the heart of Haynes International Motor Museum.

 

Volunteer roles include working with our Collections Care, Education, Tours and Talks, Museum Ambassador and Visitor Service Desk teams. We also have a growing team of volunteers who help with our regular and very popular Haynes Breakfast Club mornings.

Volunteering can also help you gain valuable new skills and experiences, boost your confidence and help you feel part of a team. We are looking to grow our team further and have volunteering opportunities in both the Gardening and Education teams.
