Front of House

Without volunteers to welcome our visitors we wouldn’t be able to open our doors. Do you like meeting different people every day? Do you like helping people? Fancy sharing your knowledge of Herne Bay and the surrounding areas?

Education and Outreach

One of our key objectives is to introduce local children to their town Museum. Can you help with planning and setting up child-friendly events and workshops and looking after our young visitors?

Marketing the Museum

We have a lot to offer but the Museum needs constant and effective marketing. Do you have ideas for promotion? Can you help with developing marketing plans and in preparing and producing leaflets, posters, press releases?

Recruitment and Administration of Volunteers

The Museum cannot succeed and survive without a team of dedicated volunteers. Can you help with volunteer recruitment and administration such as managing the rota?

Finance and Administration

Effective administration is essential if the Museum is to run smoothly. Can you help with the finances or managing the building?

If you can spare the time to help and would like to join the team, please email hernebaymuseumtrust@gmail.com for further information.

We really would be delighted to hear from you.

Please note: volunteers must be over 18.
