Our Volunteer Promise
By joining Handel Hendrix House, you are joining a fabulous team of volunteers, whose passion and enthusiasm makes spending time in these historic residences an amazing experience every single day.
Before you begin however, there are a few things that need to be agreed between us. This is to ensure that you are happy, and everything is above board.

We will…
- Give you training for your role.
- Provide you with support.

- Perform the role to the best of your skills and abilities.
- Follow our policies and procedures.
- Play a part in ensuring that Handel Hendrix House is a place where people are treated with dignity and respect, and not subject to harassment or discrimination. This includes fellow volunteers, employees of Handel Hendrix House and our visitors.
