As a small charity, we couldn’t do what we do without our fantastic volunteers, who support us across a wide range of activities. These include researching, cataloguing and auditing items in the collection, responding to public enquiries, guiding visitors, and even carrying out hands-on maintenance in our conservation workshop.
Volunteering with us is a rewarding and enriching experience. It’s a chance to learn new skills, meet people, and be part of a team caring for one of the oldest military museums in the world.
We’re currently looking for more volunteers to join our team. You don’t need any special skills or experience—just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved. An interest in history is helpful, and if you already have expertise in artillery, military history, engineering, conservation or education, we’d be especially pleased to hear from you.
Whether you're keen to learn something new, help preserve important heritage, or simply enjoy doing something worthwhile with like-minded people, we’re likely to have a role for you.
Recent volunteer projects include reviewing First World War diaries for a national digitisation programme, fully restoring a WWII German PAK anti-tank gun, and researching and creating display panels for our main field gun display at Wood Road, Larkhill.
All volunteers receive training and refreshments.
