Getting Started

Getting started as a B&B station volunteer is a simple process, however there are some key steps we would like you to take before it becoming official. To get started you will need to complete the following...

1. Volunteer Application form

This is a simple document that outlines various personal information and ticking which areas you might be interested in. Within this form, there's also a section to add what other skills or expertise you might like to bring and even showcase them to other volunteers- amazing!

Click here for the application form.

2. Meet and Greet

This is just for our Heritage Officer to meet you and find out a bit more about you. It isn't an interview, just a relaxed chat. So please don't be put off by it.

3. A little bit of admin

If you're under the age of 18, we'll ask you to fill out a parental consent form whilst volunteering with us annually or for special events.
