Volunteer with us
The Joseph Banks Centre offers lots of opportunities for people who wish to volunteer small amounts of time. Our volunteers are important to us and we try to match people’s skills or interests to the tasks that we need doing. For many of our volunteers their work with us has led to other opportunities and in some cases full paid work
The Museum is now closed for the Winter and will
Re-open on March 5th 2026.
