Volunteers are vital to the smooth running of the Amberley Heritage Centre.

They take part in a range of activities including:

  • acting as tour guides
  • assisting visitors
  • helping in research
  • supporting display maintenance and aircraft cleaning

An understanding of Air Force history is helpful but not essential. Reliability, ability to work as part of a team, and enthusiasm are important.
