Welcome to North East Museums Volunteering 

Volunteers are essential to the work that we do. You can help to ensure our 12 museums and galleries are innovative, imaginative, creative, totally inclusive, secure and sustainable.  

In turn, volunteering can help you to develop new skills and interests, meet friendly, like-minded people, gain confidence and a sense of well-being, and even strengthen your CV.  

We want all our volunteers to have an enjoyable and rewarding time and to feel part of the team that delivers a world class museums service to the communities of the North East and beyond.
