SUPPORTING US

The Royal Green Jackets Museum is a charity and very dependent on the support of individuals, companies, trusts and public bodies to sustain a programme of continuous improvement of the Museum and its collections.

There are a number of ways in which you can help us.

• By volunteering to spend some of your time working with us
• By donating money to the Museum
• By becoming a Friend of the Museum
• By gifting items to the Museum collection
• By gifting unwanted items to the Museum for sale
• By leaving a legacy to the Museum in your will

VOLUNTEERING

Volunteering to work for the Museum can be hugely educational and rewarding. It offers the chance to meet and mix with others, and need not be demanding.

Volunteers may spend as little or as much time working for the Museum as they wish – from a few hours a month to five days a week.

Opportunities exist for volunteers:

• To work in the archives as a researcher and/or look after the archives and library
• To document and care for the Museum’s objects, especially the silver collection
• To be a Museum attendant, welcoming visitors and acting as a guide

If you have other skills which you think may be of use to the Museum – for example, marketing, design, library, textile conservation, IT – please do not hesitate to tell us.

Volunteers are not usually paid, although there are occasional opportunities to take on part-time work as a museum attendant at weekends and bank holidays. Depending upon the nature and frequency of work, volunteers may be reimbursed some or all of their travelling costs.

To offer your services as a volunteer or find out more, please e-mail the Curator or telephone +44 (0)1962 828549.
