Become a volunteer

The Trust is lucky enough to benefit from the time, skills, experience and dedication of over 1,000 individuals nationwide.

Our volunteers are the foundation of our work at local, regional and national level. Working with us to maximise our limited resources for the benefit of the growing number of vulnerable churches in our care, volunteers help us to ensure that our buildings continue to play a role in the life of their local community. They also enable us to maintain our high standards of conservation, safety and visitor welcome and to fulfil the potential of these special buildings as fascinating learning resources.

According to their own talents, interests and availability, our volunteers help us in a broad variety of ways:

• Church cleaning and churchyard maintenance
• Church opening rotas and public open days
• Distributing Trust literature
• Hosting school visits and helping with workshops and education days
• Giving guided tours
• Researching guidebooks
• Administrative, office-based support
• Professional assistance with specific projects
