Volunteer Open Mornings 2025
Looking for something different to do? We’d love to welcome you to one of our 2025 Volunteer Open Mornings. Drop in and meet our friendly staff and volunteers and hear about all the opportunities coming up this year.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
We have lots of different volunteering opportunities coming up: greeting and guiding visitors around our Victorian Lighthouse and Second World War tunnels; in our bookshops, plant fair and helping conserve our landscape and wartime structures. If, like us, you're passionate about conserving our heritage and our countryside, we'd love to hear from you. With our members, staff, volunteers and supporters, we're the largest conservation charity in Europe. We're friendly, welcoming and inclusive and there is a great team spirit. There's loads going on at White Cliffs in 2025 but we need help to make it all happen. If you'd like to know more, please come along.
