Volunteer
Share some time to support the museum
We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the support and dedication of our volunteers. Volunteering is an excellent way to learn new skills and meet new people. You’re also benefiting the Chesham community by making sure everyone can enjoy the history of our great town.
What can I do?
We’re looking for people to help in a wide range of roles, including research and caring for our collection, supporting our learning programme or developing our social media offer. We need people to share the history of Chesham by leading guided walks, delivering sessions for schools or supporting reminiscence work. We’re also looking for people to help the smooth running of our organisation by becoming trustees, or supporting their work by taking minutes at meetings.
There are all sorts of ways you can get involved, our roles are flexible and we can develop an opportunity to suit your availability and the amount of time you can give.
