Jan and John

Jan and John are two of our volunteers that support our second-hand bookshop by sorting through donations and organising books to go out onto the shelves. Supported by two other volunteers, Genny and William, they make up our small book sorting team and are part of our wider bookshop volunteers that help run the second-hand bookshop.

Mike

Mike is one of our Room Guide volunteers, helping visitors make the most out of their visit into the Hall. When he retired, he wanted to do something to contribute to the local area and a regular opportunity to give back and help. Having always been interested in history and the work of the National Trust, regularly visiting properties such as Felbrigg, there couldn't be a better place to volunteer.

John

John is one of our estate volunteers, who supports our countryside team across the whole portfolio at Felbrigg, Sheringham Park and West Runton. He enjoys being part of a team and getting involved with something so different to his work life outside the Trust. From installing tree guards, tree work, fencing, fixing gates, relaying paths, and planting new trees and saplings, the estate team are never short of work to do.
