The Spelthorne Museum is entirely volunteer run. Would you like to join us? We do not expect you to have qualifications or museum experience as we provide on-the-job training. A variety of jobs are available both behind the scenes, looking after the collection, setting up new displays, assisting with the education service and also at the 'front of house' where volunteers ensure that the museum is open when advertised. Volunteers receive a monthly 'Volnatters' newsheet. If you are interested in joining the ranks of wonderful and interesting volunteers please contact our volunteer coordinator, Christine Topple: 01784 454 611
