Volunteers

Volunteer with us

Faversham Charters and Magna Carta exhibition runs entirely with volunteer stewards.  These wonderful people give up their time to share their historical expertise with our visitors.  Most of the volunteers do not have a background in history, however through personal research they have become knowledgeable in medieval history, particularly that related to Faversham and our charters and artefacts.

 

We are always looking for new volunteers to join our team.  The following options are available, or you can do a combination of options :

-Volunteer for a 3 hour slot every week, to steward in the exhibition room and present information to our visitors.

-Volunteer on an ad hoc basis to cover holiday and other absences.  You would steward in the exhibition room and present information to our visitors.

-Volunteer when we have school bookings.  You would support a group of children on a pre-planned activity.  A background in education would be preferable, but it is not essential.

-Volunteer when we are holding special events.  You might be needed to place people in and out of our stocks for photo opportunities.  You may be needed to supervise children’s activity tables.  We may need you to dress in costume and hand out leaflets.

 

An enhanced DBS check will need to be completed before volunteering with us.

If you feel you would like to join our team, please contact our Faversham Charters Officer for more information at fiona.palmer@favershamtowncouncil.gov.uk
