If you are considering volunteering with us please read on.
Fantastic you have found your way here.
Our Commitment is to provide volunteering opportunities that are enriching, rewarding and potentially life changing.
It’s an exciting time! We are building our volunteer teams and if you join us
your volunteering will be directly contributing to changing lives with the regeneration of Bishop Auckland and surrounding area.
In joining our community of custodians, you should find that every time you volunteer, you will be setting off on an adventure, where you can achieve a sense of wellbeing, which may well include: -
feeling good, smiling lots, finding or enhancing skills, meeting new people, achieving a sense of purpose and having fun. It may well be an opportunity to rediscover/discover you.
A few things we want to make sure you are aware of up front
Having a flexible approach to time management is key. We anticipate that volunteers may commit to a volunteer shift at least once a week, (role dependent) but this is a suggestion and we are more than happy to discuss what you are able to commit with you.
Volunteers will be asked to provide and wear appropriate clothing and footwear, role/activity dependent. Dress code will be advised.
Unfortunately, we are unable to reimburse travel expenses
Currently we are inviting those 17 plus to join us in the Visitor Operations Engager/ Invigilation roles and 18 plus in all other roles.
