Part of a wider team
As well as looking after Buckingham Chantry Chapel, we're part of a team that care for a group of properties in the Stowe and Aylesbury Vale portfolio.
This encompasses Stowe, Claydon, Boarstall Tower, Boarstall Duck Decoy, Long Crendon Courthouse and King's Head.
Some of our volunteers choose several roles across several properties, which provides the opportunity of a diverse breadth of historic eras and property styles, from a medieval tower to a grand Georgian house.
It's also a great way to meet lots of new people and try out new things, while helping us achieve our plans as part of a larger family.
‘At the Stowe and Aylesbury Portfolio during the 2019/20 season, 503 volunteers worked in 65 roles, donating 56,476 hours. We simply couldn't achieve what we do without their contribution. Join the team and help us look after your local special place.’
- Fraser Normington, Volunteering and Community Involvement Manager
