Volunteer

Since our foundation in 1969, we have valued the work of local volunteers supporting local churches. Over recent years volunteering has become central to all that we do, with volunteer numbers now reaching over 1800 across the country. Without the extraordinary contribution of volunteers we would not be able to carry out our award-winning work.

What is Volunteering

There are many ways to support our work as a volunteer. See how you could help...
Why Volunteer

We simply would not be able to protect historic churches without the support and commitment of our volunteers.

Information for Volunteers

If you are already a volunteer and you need some guidance on practicalities such as health and safety or personal safety, we have provided this information here.

All our volunteers receive an induction and the training required for the role that they wish to undertake. When you start to volunteer we will endeavour to ensure that you work alongside an experienced volunteer, who will help you to find your feet.
