Volunteer Tour Guide

Abbot's Hospital have been running tours of our Grade I Jacobean almshouse for nearly 20 years and we couldn’t do it without our team of volunteer tour guides!

Our tour guides are passionate volunteers, coming from all walks of life and bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and experience. They all have a love for the building and sharing their passion with the many visitors we receive every year. It is truly one of the town jewels

• Tours generally run between April and October - twice a week 11am to 1pm.
• Knowledge of local history would be an advantage, but it is not essential. Training is provided.

Become a Scam Champion: Educate Your Community!

Do you want to make a real difference in your community? Are you passionate about protecting people from the devastating effects of scams? We're looking for Scam Champions to help us spread awareness and empower people with the knowledge they need to stay safe.

What will you do?

As a Scam Champion, you'll become a community educator, delivering talks or writing articles to help people understand, identify, and avoid scams.

We also welcome your creative ideas for reaching people in new ways!

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for reliable and detail-conscious individuals who are confident speaking in front of groups. You'll need to be able to follow our guidance to ensure key information is included in your sessions and be able to commit to the sessions you sign up for.

This is a flexible role with no set hours, so you can fit it around your schedule. You can choose when and where you deliver sessions, keeping in mind when local communities are available.

Is this for you?

• Do you enjoy public speaking or writing?

• Are you reliable and committed?

• Are you passionate about helping others?

We would be delighted to have you on our team. This is a fantastic opportunity to build your skills, give back to your community, and help make a real impact.

Every day as an Events Volunteer is different - you get to pick and choose what events you would like to attend.

Helping with administration behind the scenes, checking emails, communicating with other members of the team and liaising with the core team to ensure that things are kept on top of between the sessions. This role can be done remotely, with just a visit to the Repair Café session once per month to see everyone and make sure we are all kept informed. The role would be for around one day per week, but can be broken up to suit you.

To look after our Facebook and Instagram pages, ensuring they are up to date with atractive and relevant images, and that enquiries are responded to promptly. You will also need to keep in touch with the rest of the team to find out stories and get images for your posts.

The role can be done mainly from home and would take maybe a couple of hours per week, plus attendance at the monthly Repair Café sessions, to see what goes on and to find out the latest stories. We are a friendly team and really need your expertise.
